That long, 2 tides and a very cold night saw me scrubed and anti-fouled. Even the kids enjoyed it and went home with blue hair. Used long handle on roller to apply anti-fouling what a great idea - no back pain afterwards.

Englander is 57' I normally do it in two tides, but I'm going to paint the topsides aswell and do ten seacocks, two echo sounder transducers, a log transducer and the stern glands on my own, so a week is not bad! I used to do Englander in four tides in Dartmouth, but only worked during the day.

Easter ... hopefully
Thanks ... that reminds me to phone the boat yard.
Well I've paid up until 31 March for winter storage so hopefully she'll be back in that w/e - especially as Sat's HW is about lunch time and a spring - useful as access to the yard dries.
Why ? er because I want to start sailing again...

I went back in on 22 Feb.
Off for a sail this week-end (If the forecast stays true....) Overnight run from Pompey to Lymington will do be well.

Good luck - know exactly how you must be feeling, Kirky. Let us know how you get on.
Am coming out between Easter and Whitsun for complete overhaul and also, not of the smallest importance, so the surveyor can have a proper look underneath.
Survey so far is, fortunately, not too bad. He's felt able to utter the words 'appears basically sound' which I reckon is high praise from any surveyor looking at a wooden boat. But he did point out that something had seized up in the heads...
Engine has been dewinterised and we took her out last weekend but, as recorded in my earlier posting, she was damn nearly blown out of the water.
Timing, I'm ashamed to admit, is what suits the boatyard, as they have a whole hire fleet of wooden yachts of their own to get ready for the season, and mine is in the queue.

Cheers I'll let you know. Apparently when she was last in the water she was "remarkably dry", but that was then and this is now

Re: Off the the West Country
Going in on Good Friday, and straight off to Plymouth leaving the Solent behind (for ever??)
Pray for a Northerly - anything but a south westerly please.

Ditto the Northerly and Please God no Fog!
It'll be London to Poole if the weather is fair.

Ready or not...
April 7th, I have to be in Tholen, as the Obi-Wan is the command vessel for the Sea-scout Coastal training week. 7 boats, 28 students.
So in the water by 06/04 at the latest. Hmm. 18 days to go, with 14 days of work still on the list. It's gonna be tight again.
