Mar. 29, 2009 - No Snow!

A sucessfull weekend without any snow. Infact without any rain apart from overnight Friday/Saturday. Friday night was very cold, but otherwise okay.

It took most of Saturday to get all the gear loaded on board and put away, then we went over to the Marina Office and paid the second installment of the year's fee. We won't talk about the Euro/Sterling exchange rate save to say OUCH!

In the evening we got the TV back up & working and settled down to a nice meal - steak & salad, washed down with some red wine and followed by some cheese.

The job that had not been done on Saturday was bending the sails on. These had been taken home over the winter for cleaning and protection from the elements. Sunday was a bright and sunny day and although there was a bit of a breeze coming over the stern (not the best direction for sorting the sails), we managed to get them bent on and the boat is now "ready to go". So all in all a sucessfull weekend.

The next visit is in two weeks time when we are taking the boys(Tom & Stewart) over at Easter. Hopefully a more sucessful time than last Easter provided we don't let Tom carry the car keys!
