Not a lot to report

The main aim this week was to go for a days sailing today but as the week went on it was looking more and more unlikely as the weather forecast continued to deteriorate. I have spent this week pottering about with minor detail stuff, the first job was to complete the trim round the enclosure to the rear of the chart plotter, I also decided to put in an additional piece where the enclosure abuts the bulkhead.

Enclosure complete

I had been thinking about getting the boat lifted out and scrubbed but unfortunately the marina hard standing is fully booked for this year so it will have to wait for the spring when space becomes available, there is an upside to this in that scrubbing the bottom and antifouling, never a pleasant job, is a little more bearable once the weather warms up a bit. I did paint some marks on the shear strake to indicate the lifting strop positions ready for the lift out. I did dig out the lee clothes for the forward cabin and give them a clean up they had a few rust stains as well as being generally dirty so a dose of the yellow stain remover, aka oxalic acid, has made a great improvement. That is about it for this week other than drinking tea and chatting, that is the trouble with boatyards they can be terribly social places.
