Yeah, so, sorry I'm a bit late with this update. Been really busy, but then it looks like Liz has been even busier in the boatyard. The main question is: did our head painter, Goy, ever reappear?

In this week's video clip we take a break from the yard for a few minutes and I go and visit some old liveaboard friends who had to return home to school their kids, and ended up buying Waldringfield Boat Yard!

Here's some pics first:

Lovely 8mm laminate by Wilson Art. Harder than marble!

Customs come to inspect our nav gear, held in bonded warehouse (a room at the boatyard)

So in this clip we spend six minutes or so chatting to Mark and Emma Barton of Waldringfield Boat Yard. You might not think this relevant to liveaboards but they were once liveaboards themselves but had to return home. They found their ideal land-based vocation though. Apologies for the quality of the video that isn't up to our usual 1080 HD standard!
