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.

our new toy has arrived!!

We hope that our new OC Tender will take us on many exciting adventures… but what shall be her name? Terry (the Tender)? Hedwig? Olive (the OC)?

I knew we kept a spare vinyl cut for a reason!
Pretty!
The old and the new.
