Fitting-out Blues

[philmarks]

Does anyone else suffer from this dreadful ailment.....

Short grey wet days when you're stripping the boat out, removing the broken bits and chasing around trying to get spares, writing cheques ad nauseam?

And then, you hit rock bottom..despair sets in...

But, slowly, the new bits and pieces gather at home, you leave work in the evening and it's light... and things start to fit together... and you have more confidence in that launch date....

Well, I've hit rock bottom and passed it at last!

I hope that all our readers have as well. Here's to re-launch... let's drink to that!

<pre>The days are short and oh so cold.</pre>

<pre>But winters on the way out i'm told.</pre>

<pre>So no need to feel sad and blue.</pre>

<pre>When we have got fitting out to do.</pre>

<pre>Some bits I have and more I need.</pre>

<pre>So all through the ads here I read.</pre>

<pre>Nothing here that I want, I grumble.</pre>

<pre>So I'll be making another trip to the boat jumble.</pre>

<pre>At last its all coming together.</pre>

<pre>Longer days and warmer weather.</pre>

<pre>We put back on board all the gear.</pre>

<pre>At last launch day is really here.</pre>

<pre>The whole of the season lies ahead.</pre>

<pre>Lets hope for good weather, else i'm off to the med./forums/images/icons/cool.gif</pre>

Somehow hitting rock bottom coincides with doing the antifouling...

After that, things can only get easier!
