Just needs tube heaters in engine room fitting & teak sanding, was going to replace but have discovered it is 8mm solid, leaving that job till I'm out of trouble & nearly ready to write the cruise reports. :encouragement:

I have an adze if you wan't me to sort your teak with it.

Mmm, would a sander not be better ?

 

[No Regrets]

Good luck, I hope everything turns out well :encouragement:

By way of an update, we are now waiting for a new machine which enables surgery with virtually no bleeding, uses super heated solution which cuts to as little as .3mm depth & cauterise at the same time,has settings for liver, bowl, pancreas etc. Will make procedure much safer, mortality down from 30-50% to near normal. Will be available around June.
In the meantime going to get the boat back in Essex so I can use it locally, south coast is too far at the moment. Bit of a bummer virtually righting off another year but light at end of tunnel, with luck.

good,

looks like a no-brainer decision then!
good luck!

Fingers crossed for you RD and I hope you manage to get a little bit of enjoyment from your boat.

The new option for surgery sounds positive and getting the boat to the East Coast sounds like a good move as you will be able to use it. Wishing you well for the surgery and hoping that you get some time on the water.

 

[Elessar]

30-50%
Flip

Waiting to reduce those odds has to be right.

 

[dj43]

All sounds good, Allso moving the boat nearer to home , will at least give you a chance to use it without a trek to the south coast.

 

[Nigelpickin]

Sounds like bleeding edge technology, literally! Im sure the recovery will be far quicker with that process - might get some autumn boating in still...
Good luck ��
