Feb. 22, 2007 - All work and some play

Haven't touched this site for ages and ages but must give it a go as uploading a website is proving to be not so easy in cybercafes.

So latest news in a nutshell, Conachair now in Lagos, Portugal on the hard at Sopromar boatyard. Left Brighton mid June last year, spent some time exploring Britteny then across Biscay from Brest to North Spain, then down the coast to Algarve, reaching here mid September. Then off to work for a few months to earn a pennies for boat kitty. Now back onboard for the forseeable future.

Boatyard doing a fine job at repainting the outside of the hull while I swear and sweat a lot painting the inside. Could do to be a cross between inspector gadget and a hobbit to paint the bilges but getting there. In cybercafe right now having a coffee and waiting for paint to dry. Engine out getting some TLC again by boatyard. Hate to think what the final bill will be but it really is a fantastic boatyard, very proffessional. No problem living aboard either, though living aboard a boat in a boatyard is slight less than glamourous, not quite pims for the foredeck but at least the sun shines most days and good social life in bars along the marina. Prob here for another month then who can tell, would like to visit Seville, probable on to Gib and take it from there. First I'll paint me bilges!!

Adios
