Ahoy,
the days are getting stranger, or maybe I am getting stranger the closer it gets to us leaving. The Ol' girl is brushing up well and some of the odd jobs have finally been struck off the list, mainly trim and varnish, I have however reinforced the mounts to the windlass, they seemed like they needed it and I would not want it leaving the foredeck. Also she has been anti-fouled with Neptune Neptal 2000 in black. Of course I have never heard of this, something that my friends in Poole will probably have a little smile over, and maybe a bacon sandwich and a cuppa. Talking of which I'm out of bloody Yorkshire Tea. It looks as though I can get a lift with the crane on Monday the 27th of April, me and the Ol' girl get to be on our way, at last, it's been a long time coming. I still have some reservations when it comes to 'kicking the hook over the side' as my only practise to date is an afternoon tea at anchor with the rest of the class on my RYA practical, a little different to having a bash on your own for the first time, still the RYA and my Lagoon Water sports instructor did a good job, so lets hope I took some of it on board.
