It's been a long time

Although I have been working on the boat, apathy took hold of the blog, but I'm back.

Over this period the chart table has been completed and an acrylic hinged panel fixed to the mahogany unit to take switches etc. Pic I have installed a new 33 litre fuel tank. Pic My preference was to install it in the port side cockpit locker, but although the tank would fit this space, with restricted room to work in securing it was a no go, so it now resides in the lazarette. Pic Other work included drilling a hole through the hull for the log unit, fitting a new skin fitting to a sea cock and installing a new base to take the Jabsco unit. Shown here before painting Pic
