Out She Comes

Out Naughty Cal comes

Oops

Double Oops. The bag had gone right through the oil seals and into the shafts so the OH had a crash course in changing duo prop oil seals on Saturday. It is all flushed through with cheap oil and now has fresh drive oil free from contamination!!

We should have a relatively easy weekend coming as all we have left to finish is some fresh antifoul paint to apply and a few coats of wax and then she is ready for the new season. Despite Saturdays set back we had a productive weekend and got more finished than we envisaged we would, even finding time to take the new dinghy for a spin

Not the time to bring up the old 'Shaft drive' debate then?

Glad you're sorted!

Can I have my plastic bag back now please

Probably not

Every cloud has a silver lining though. The OH now knows how to service the drive so it will save us loads in the long run and it wasnt really a difficult job.

Can I have my plastic bag back now please

Yes. I will forward it along with the repair bill

 

[No Regrets]

Nice one!

After what felt like an eternity (2 weeks!!) Naughty-Cal is finally back in the water looking like a new pin. Freshly antifouled, polished, new anodes and drive serviced hopefully this season wont be a repeat of last where she spent a fair amount of time being pulled in and out with various small niggly issues.

Taped Up

Fresh Paint

Waxed Up

New ropes and ready to launch

Celebratary BBQ lit and then the heavens open!!

The BBQ was a mistake. Always causes rain

Yes. We took it and its contents to the shelter of the fuel berth. Maybe not the wisest place to set fire to things!!
