A quick blog to keep up to date: we’ve had a very pleasant 24 hours, mostly supervising the snagging, which is proceeding apace. For the avoidance of doubt, and so that Gill Harper doesn’t get confused, the post on Building Sanity Again will be in a week or so’s time, once all the snagging is done. Of the 23 items on the list, around 16 are now complete, so it’s not going to be too long.
We ate on board last night, then went round to Cala for a quiet drink, which became a little more raucous after Bill and Eileen of New Dawn joined us. (New Dawn has a parrot, so we reckon Bill feels the need to express himself once he’s off the boat.) Cala is in the yard alongside us, having some bits of work done to her solar panel and stove chimney.
Today, I nipped down into Poynton for fresh bread and meat, and to get a prescription filled, and returned to find the yard a hive of activity. The gazebos have finally dried out in this splendid late September weather, and have been put away. Peter and Susan wanted to take the workforce from the yard out for a celebratory lunch after the delivery of La Suvera, number 124, and we looked after the office for them whilst they did so.
I have started painting the cabin shafts with Cuprinol; we’d tried oiling them at first, but it hasn’t stood up to the weather, so it’s back to tried and tested approaches. Another quiet night, tonight, I expect, then we look forward to an invasion of Graeme, Cathy, Daniel and Alex tomorrow.
(PS thanks to Gill for proof reading this for me!)
