The Launch

Here she is looking throughly splendid on her mooring

glinting in the fine evening sunshine

ready for her first trip

out of the river towards the sea.

She is Looking Good

Finally she is ready for the launch. New electrics, new paint, new colours

New cushions, made and waterproofed by us as having them made was very cost prohibitive. They look very smart, a bit bright but as Sarah did all the sewing I didn't get much choice in the decision. They have been waterproofed very well so should be fine.

New floor covering, lino printed with many wine bottle corks, is this saying something about what will be the on board beverage of choice? (Sarah chose it, enough said)

See? I rest my case.

Next Installment...the launch!

It was all going so well

It was. It was All going so well new paint sorted out the funky toilet,fiddled with the electrics for hours even painted the inside.

Then new sheets and halyards. I gave a good tug and down she came. So now we have to drop the mast and sort it all out. Ha Ho its called boating according to all of the other helpful people in the yard. Onward and upward.
