I have 1/100ths of a metre on mine. Jolly useful for precision grounding.
Weekend plans?

Exactly the kind of thing I'm eager to avoid.
TBH: when afloat, land scares me a lot more than the sea.

Well, when I go aground on a nasty shore, I can walk to shore, as I am 1.67m and my boat draws 1.1m, so my head is sort of above water.
Not so when you draw 2.0+m, that is above my head, and therefore increases the prospect of some nasty things.

Or your 'little monkey' is just a wide eyed optimist.....I understand from a semi reliable 'sauce' that things are not entirely as we are led to believe, on that score. A little monkey reckons he is further forward on his renovation works than sometimes it seems

Water tight and sea worthy, with essential parts functioning as required is all that's needed. So I'm assured
Think I'm way behind you on that front, so you can do it

Ah, that reminds me, haven't been below yet so I dread to think what might be in need of repairs down there
Raining again so may well take the time to venture there after wasting most of the afternoon waiting for no show after no show supposed job applicants, grrr

Good day!
Bright and sunny early on, got a coat of antifoul on and retouched the boottop
Then it got a bit wet and windy so we relocated to on board and sorted out the engine, electronics and do on
Tomorrow looks promising, reckon we should be ready to go back in by the time we knock off

I've been hearing about '20 degrees at the weekend,' all week.
Yes - it's certainly warmer than it has been recently - on the water report from the Medway - raining, gusty SW wind and Magna BBQ staying in locker!

Well, that didn't go as planned. 
Forecast Summer failed to materialise - overcast and wind hovering around the 25kts mark.
Made an attempt to leave our berth twice, got blown back in twice.
If it hadn't been for Wild Otter and his fast footwork... Thanks Ian.
The 'Help For Heroes' bear took it all in his stride.

Good weekend 'tinkering'. Hard to say what I achieved other than more things on the list but I enjoyed it!!
Sat having a cuppa between jobs after it had started drizzling Saturday afternoon and I noticed a wet patch on the bunk cushion, quick investigation and the forward end of the saloon window is dribbling - would you believe it the open tube of sikaflex like stuff had set solid over the winter. Cushion moved off the bunk until I sort it next weekend!
Reading everyone else's weekend news I don't feel guilty for staying on the pontoon either

Most jobs done.
Some twice due to inattention.
Launched this afternoon.
Sireina is now on her mooring.
Some clearing up needed.
Quick visit next Saturday.
