In B'sea on Sat - hoping to paint the non slip on the decks if weather OK. Family day Sunday at home - counting down to Sat 22nd when I cast off and (hopefully) don't return until end of June

Nearly ready to go

Jessie is reasonably spic and span, antifouled and ready to go - except that my carelessness when raising her mast meant that both outer shroud fork ends got bent. Managed to buy a couple of replacements only to discover that they should have been left hand threads rather than right. The suppliers can let me have a couple of left handers in (wait for it) June! So I have reordered StaLock replacements through Andy Ramsey at the Rice and Coles chandlery (what a helpful chap) and should pick them up next week. Then just a bit of riggery pokery and we should be ready to go.

I hope to be, if I can find anyone to play with....

my crew are waning - all my regulars either on horrendous night shifts, up the duff, studying, preparing house for imminent baby arrival, moving, on holiday or just too disorganised to say yes to anything more than 30 minutes in advance.

Will be out for a daysail on Sunday, out of W. Mersea. Probably drop the pick off Osea for a spot (drop?) of lunch.

Did intend to go and sell some surplus items at the Suffolk Boat Jumble but laid up with a bad back so won't make it.

Nice to meet you Nigel - keep plugging away!

Mr and Mrs Sailorman joined for me for a beer late afternoon which was very nice. What did you get out of Bradwell this morning?

 

[Athene V30]

There were loads of Bradwell Cruising Club boats in Brightlingsea on Saturday and quite a few Marconi boats too.

Got my deck painted and even though I say it myself think it looks quite good apart from where the masking tape stuck

Boat now as ready as she is ever going to be for the big trip starting next weekend . First destination tbc dependent on the wind direction!

 

[MoodySabre]

Have a good trip Peter - hope all goes well with the new boat.
