Planning boat jobs

Admit it---You love it really

It’s difficult working out replies to sofa aspersions but I have to admit truth is stranger than fiction as with my latest eye operation I am under medical control not to make excursions,lifting heavy weights or bending over so sofa dwelling is officially sanctioned

Not mentioned: mindmapping, like freeplane (linux) which has free open source brothers too.

When I find myself stuck I'll start one.

I use the notes function on my iPhone, which connects to the iPad and iMac. I write a list with many things on it and initially try to concentrate on the items that need to be done whilst we're lifted out of the water and safety stuff essential to start sailing again. Other stuff can happen whilst we're in the water.

I'm just gonna say it. I love making lists, with pen and paper. ..... lists or more sophisticated ways of organising are fine.... just not for me. Pen and paper and crossing things off. Every day. Woof!

Keep a boat notebook,
Three lists..
Must be done,.
Would like to be done,
Fancy doing...

With boat being parked outside little work has been done so far this season due to poor weather.
So I've sewn a new jib ... Sat in the living room.

I don't make a written list as my memory isn't that bad yet . I hope to say goodbye to spreadsheets when I retire from paid work in the not too distant future.

At the moment I don't know of any faults that are critical to the operation of the boat but that could be just the boat hasn't yet revealed them to me .

But I do have a couple of maintenance jobs that I would like to do when the weather warms up a bit.

I have a kit of selected tools on the boat and (apart from few sockets) most are used regularly enough. I keep finding a few extra tools I need. The tools normally live on the boat although I live close to the boat which can be very handy.
