Jul. 13, 2007 - Plans For The Weekend

I am off to the boat, on my own , tomorrow morning - 7.50 Shuttle out of Folkestone. Should get there about 11.00 BST. I'm going on my own so I can get on with a number of jobs that need doing. If Wendy comes, then we will go out and sail rather than do things on the boat.Primarily, there is the flat screen TV to fix in the saloon and I want to make up a set of customised dock lines to suit our home berth. At present we use a set of 12mm lines that are either 8m or 12m in length. The idea is to make up each line the precise length, with spliced loops at each end so there is no adjusting the boat's position - the lines automatically set the boat in the right place. So lots of splicing for tomorrow.

Poor Emjaytoo is also in need of a good clean. The inside is always left clean and tidy, but we don't have time to clean the outside when we leave on a Sunday, so she has become quite grubby.

The weather for the weekend looks mixed, so we shall see how it turns out.
