No income generating work you understand, but boat (expenses avoiding) work. The chart table and draws near completion, just the mahogany plugs to clean off and some varnish, the fridge box is in, insulated and has a fitted (although un-insulated) lid. Registration numbers and tonnage are carved in, reefing points have been refined, half the new winches have been fitted (ran out of fasteners for the second pair), there is a reducing number of random boxes of random fasteners floating round the boat as things get organised, and the stern gland appears to have stopped leaking.

The decks however have not, and we seem to have leaks round the main sky light, the forehatch, the doghouse and the quarter berths. All the slept in bunk stay dry, although M's seems to get the occasional drip now... More varnish and maybe epoxy required. The ones over the quarter berths are worst, but I think I have the likely points targeted and hopefully they will be easy to sort.

I almost feel that the boat is ready to sail, at least once I get the lazyjacks sorted out. Still waiting on the swindlery to fulfil the now 5 week old order for the blocks. If they had arrived last week, I was going to go and have a play offshore on Sunday by myself to see how she handled, but the though of trying to get the main in by myself without LJs put me off. Ah well, it won't be long now.
