The lockers are scoured for spares and sundries.
The lockers are scoured for spares and sundries.
We about to become land based.
The last drips fall off Ruffian’s keel.
Our new home.
The hard underwater work begins.
We get into the depths of the steering.
Those barnacles will not clean themselves off.
Soooo excited. Will it happen?
It’s happening.
Iain wears his best clothes for painting.
The shaft is very much not in the middle of the stern tube.
Smooth, sweet and straight.
Grease puts the smoo into smoooooth.
The autopilot ram is fixed properly.
Everything outside is shiny.
Everything inside is shiny.
Everything outside is shiny.
Cleaning, polishing and painting in the midday sun.
Progress is being made.
Nice birthday experience for Fiona. The Poo Pipe Extravaganza.
We celebrate Fiona’s birthday in the most glamourous of locations.
We get by with a little help from our friends.
The magic solar controller goes in.
Happy with a good job well done.
Larry gets his hands on Fiona’s favourite gift.
We’re in the cleanest, most organised and spacious yard ever.
Have car. Get chain. Jill & Neil from Alice May rock.
Some jobs should be left to the professionals.
Out with the old. In with the new.
Not the nicest of surprises.
Work done. Time to go sailing.
We follow along like expectant parents.
We nearly sink after getting wet.
Spreadsheets. You’ve got to love spreadsheets.
