We have a new visitor.

Under we go.

The local &#039;car&#039; park.

Calm and flat.

That white gloop should be inside the capacitor.

Amazing. We find a second hand unit.

The fitting begins.

The pressures rise all ready for cold beer.

An unexpected fridge controller turns up from the USA.

We go shopping.

Open wide.

Fiona has happy NHS teeth. Iain has unhappy NHS teeth.

All alone in an expanse of lake.

Eye test. &#039;Can you read this?&#039;, &#039;Yes&#039;, &#039;You&#039;ve passed&#039;.

Sewing.

Hiding behind houses.

Brock gets measured from some new clothes.

Happy birthday to you.

A happy engine makes for a happy boat.

Concentrate.

Larry guards his dinner.

Lovely &#039;as new&#039; engine spares.

The rubbing down begins.

The boat is in chaos.

The woodwork outside gets prepped.

More rubbing down.

Nowhere to sit. Nowhere to hide.

We try to contain the mess.

The scary 1980&#039;s microwave is gone.

We get a nice big cupboard.

Cabinetry isn&#039;t easy.

The first coats of varnish go on.

The gloss is becoming glossy.

The satin in pretty satiny.

7 coats and the varnish is like a mirror.

The companionway glows.

Fiona gets a special step.

Ruffian starts to be reassembled.

Almost there.

That&#039;s a very innocuous green thing.

Spice.

Hazy skies.

Tropical sunsets.

We now have woodworking mess.

Extending our tiny bed.

The dream team.

We&#039;re finally able to clean up. All ready for more chaos and disassembly..

Stormy skies.

Sails down ready for Ruffian&#039;s trip to dry land.

Flaking and bricking.
