what's the hull transducer that;s on back order? I just hope it's not one of the AIRMAR N2K triducers (depth/speed/temp) aka DST as they are crap and should not be used! Read reports on temp failing.

At least with our fleet he will get an education on how not to be a day boat going round and round Conwy Bay in ever boring circles so he can make gate times. Mention overnight anchoring to most and watch them sweat and get uncomfortable. Plus on the upside we will christen his boat so he's Neptune's best pal.... frequently. A good party boat is always welcome.

You can have him when I’ve finished....he just spent eleven years building a boat...spending a couple of years doing my projects will be nothing to him?

Fine. I will look after his boat. Make sure the engines dont seize up etc. Couple years you say? Make it several

There’s a reason to stay ashore if ever I’ve heard one!

You're only in this hobby because of your solvents addiction! We're a bit more refined.

No. Launched and roped over to the fuel pumps and a visitor berth for a couple of days. More testing to be done yet. Need to run the engines up and nudge them in and out of gear etc to make sure the moves in the expected direction ? Also need to run the gen set, check elec heads, commission the hot and cold water system and a few other bits and pieces.
All being well, we’ll leave Conwy on Thursday afternoon bound for her summer home at Rowen Bay Port Dinorwic.

Fuel tanks are about 85%. I need to fill the water tanks now. My gut feeling is that she’ll need a bit of trim ballast at the aft end

That looks like a busy port...John is going to have to stand on watch 24/7 with a boat hook, just in case another boat gets within six foot

Must have been a momentous day given the journey to get there!
She looks absolutely superb and you can be rightly proud of all that you have achieved. Time to enjoy being on the water now ?
