I’m trying to write my second blog this month, it’s such a shock that the computer can’t accept it. I wrote the blog, tried to add some photographs and Google won’t let me…

Went back to the written draft to find that random words had been highlighted and not shown when I previewed it…most bizarre. 

So the two pallets arrived, but without the transducer which we need to be installed before we can launch. It is now on the way but, who knows when it will arrive. 

The cockpit is now back in

Gill is sewing toe rail covers and I am splicing mooring lines

Let me try and publish this

The ship carrying our pallets arrived in Castries on Friday. Now we wait for the stock to get through Customs. As anyone who has ever done this sort of thing, that could be quick, or not…

Now that the physical engine installation is complete, we have started to refit the cockpit as the photograph shows. After that, we will build the “engine room”. 

Kevin joined us for a couple of weeks and fitted the portholes, I still need to install a mechanism to keep them open for ventilation.

Other than that, we have continued to plug screw holes, varnish wood and polish brass. 

We are still pushing for a launch this year, but it will be tough to get there!

More later…
