Sailing with fire.

3 weeks to go!

We're committed now. I booked the cranes and truck to go back into the water on the 30th, and then had the truck say he couldn't make the 30th, and could we do the 29th! I said yes.

 

Well, the decks are done. Just a few fittings to go on to finish them all. The new oak round the cockpit is all fitted and screwed, but to be glued tomorrow and then slapped up with some paint.

 

Mast to varnish, hull to paint, chart table to sort out if we get time, bow rollers to fit. Few odds and sods below deck (must fit that ball valve before it's too late!), then bunk cushions and anchors and sails and warps and charts and...

 

The loft will seem quite empty, although somehow I doubt all the junk that has accumulated in the shed is likely to disappear, might have to get a skip.
