Mishaps and Memories

Feb. 16, 2006 - Working weekend

Again,

 

Off down to the boat this weekend.... this blog is begionning to have a monotonous element to it!

 

Plan is to start the storage in the forepeak, so that I can get the wall carpet fitted, and then pick up a number of other smaller jobs..... I want to glue the treadmaster to the deck, over where the old winches were mounted.... I want to try and remove the old windvane mounts and the old autopilot mount (broken!)...

 

I then am aiming to run the 4mm line I have bought up the mast and remove the spinnaker halyard, so that I can wash it... or if this proves too troublesome then i'll fit the bridle to the pole....

 

Besides this, I am hoping to fit the hatch stay, and also source and fit a gas tap in the galley.....

 

Lots of little jobs now (as well as a few bigger ones), so hopefully the list will start getting shorter a bit quicker....

 

I am meeting up with a few peeps Saturday night for a drink to discuss the Oostende trip in May, and JimDew and his better half Lynne are stopping over for the night to save a drive home.....  and flyingjunior may well drop in sometime in the afternoon.....

 

Better make sure that i've got plenty of bacaon and eggs on board!
