I hope you are right, I was in the tent working on the boat one night last week, I swear I had frost on my head.

I've had several weekends away, I really need to crack on now.

God knows, just been down tonight, lying on my back staring in dismay at the keel, or at least, where the keel was, wood is a lot wetter than I thought.

Hopefully be in for Yogaff late May.
 
had to cancel 2 day leave this week due to work.. was going to make a start on the todo list but it'll need to wait for the weekend.. cannot wait for the new season, got time of the grind from 31st March through to 8th April and intend to camp out on the boat for most of that if the weather's half decent
 
Think we are all thinking the same. I booked the engine service yesterday. Drive will be done in October.

Also bought a few bits that are required and chased up a quote for a new set of covers.

Roll on spring.
