Due to a lack of wind we took the opportunity to do some bits and bobs to the boat, thankfully for us the sun was shining. With only around 5 weeks left until we sail for Spain there is not a whole bunch of things to do, just the jobs that where put off before, finishing touches let’s say. So we started the day of with a bit of sewing, making the cockpit cushion covers. Here is Joe doing just that:
We then decided that we had been indoors for too long and went to the boat, there Ben hauls Joe up the mast to fix the anchor and motoring lights, while the rest of us enjoyed the sun
Some of the neighbours cruised over to see what all the fuss was about…
Tomorrow will be a full day of cushion covers and a set of new dodgers for the boat as the weather is coming in. The weekend is looking to be wet but with a good bit of wind about, a chance to really test out the new sail and hopefully some swell on the horizon so we can get our rubber on
Peace!
