Shipmates, I haven't blogged for some time - suffice to say I have been very, very busy - A trip to the UK, racing my OK dinghy, building stuff (As us sailor / boat builders come boat renovators tend to do) and generally trying to make the most of life as the clock ticks down.
One of the projects I have been involved in has been the on going job of giving my yacht Mariner (above) some TLC which has included:
- An internal bow to stern clean.
- External repaint
- Installation of a new stove.
- Construction of a forward cabin door.
- The design and construction of a new spray dodger (new shape).
- Installation of a new toilet.
- Installation of a solar panel and controller.
- Haul out and antifouling painting completed.
- General motor maintenance (filters, new battery etc).
Most of the work has been completed but there are three jobs that are outstanding on this list which are the fabric for the new spray dodger armature, installation of the new door and the fitting of the solar panel and controller.
All dressed up and ready to rock and roll.
