Life raft is now on the rail.

The last big job was ticked off today when we had the newly packed life raft mounted on a custom built frame in the rail.

Almost done
Finished! The top rail will allow us to attach rod holder or BBQ or work table

Countdown continues

Still ticking off the jobs; mizzen preventer fixed, soft loops replaced, bottle screws cleaned and lubed, awning marked and off for sewing, jack stays cleaned measured and marked for sewing, tender outboard aquaplanes removed, navstation tidied, Iridium go power supply sorted.

Rigger on Monday, fridge man Tuesday, stainless man Wednesday.

We also farewelled our faithful old tender today… A little sad, but I’m sure she’s going to a good home…

Bye bye Errol

A quick haul out

Bottom cleaned, rudder anodes replaced, log wheel remove removed (finally, after much consternation!) Rudder (mostly) greased.

Back in the water in 60 minutes. (Must remember to remove backstays and mizzen topping lift next time!!)

Barnacles are not my favourite marine animal.
