Despite a good burst while I was strip planking the bows, I have been in a bit of a funk for the last month or so. Part of this is the heat of Summer that makes working in this new shed unpleasant, it is far hotter for a given temperature than the old shed. Anyway, […]
No more work on the boat yet. I am very keen to get something done though. We have a long weekend coming up and maybe I can get something done this weekend. I hope the weather is a bit cooler. It has been cooler this week but you know Murphy and his laws! Jo has […]
