Steady progress

These posts risk being a bit sameish for the next week, I fear, but I'll keep on with them to reassure one and all that we're still here...

;)

A lazy start today followed by some cleaning activity. We're now spray polishing the cabin and hull side interiors, starting at the stern as there was a duvet cover drying on a rack in the saloon and we didn't fancy sleeping with the aroma of Pledge after the next change of linen. Sheila had got permission to use the big washing machine in the bungalow, so I took a load of towels over and set them going.

I cleaned the engine room ceiling or deckhead, then set to with a can of Mr Sheen to clean the walls. Sheila, meanwhile, was using a can of Pledge in the bedroom. There's no significance in the different products, by the way, just the chance of having bought different ones at different times.

We were about halfway through when coffee/hot choc time came around, so we knocked off for a trip to the Trading Post. Since Mirabilis is tied right alongside the outdoor seating area, we were all able to offer advice to Graham and Abbi as they sort and stow their worldly goods on board.

Some of the advice was even helpful...

After the break, we helped with a bit of boat shuffling, then went for lunch.

More cleaning followed, completing those two compartments before we took a bit of a rest.

After the afternoon break, we got on with clearing up the last of the gardening detritus before ambling back to the boat.

Mirabilis is scheduled to leave on her first shake down trip tomorrow morning; must take a camera along.
