Ready to go!

Well, apart from loading supplies, the dinghy, securing for sea etc. I had planned to do this later in the month but with dry and relatively warm weather forecast (that proved optimistic, it was darn cold at times) it was too good an opportunity to miss, and next week is out due to both cars going into the shop and a new washing machine to install.

This last winter has been hard on canvas, fortunately I took all

of the rest off of the boat for cleaning and reproofing before she

came out of the water in October.

After a mornings work cleaning and a lot more rigging etc..

The saloon tidier than it has been for a long time. The starboard

bunk back is in dry store as I don't need it sailing single handed

and this gives me a bit more room for convenient storage, with

the lea cloth in place.
