I guess I have slipped on the milk crate that is my lower step into each hull 1 time to many. If you step too close to the edge it just flips under you and over you go, and I am getting too old for it. I have been lucky, so far I have slipped […]

I should first up apologize that my posts are getting further and further apart, I set a fairly high standard early of almost daily updates but at the moment I am struggling to make one post a month, but I will continue to do my best to keep the log up to date, albeit infrequently […]

Well June pretty much was a month off. Whilst I was away I caught the flu, so after we got back from Vanuatu I was feeling too ill to work for another week, then having been off the build for 3 weeks I found it really hard to get back into it and felt lazy […]

So I did manage a little work before this month before the holiday but not much since my return for 2 reasons. I have been sick with the flu and I have spent some time cleaning up. I will start to have help on the boat and I am a bit embarrassed about the state […]

I did not get a chance to do the pureseal plate inspection before the holiday so they stayed in the water a few weeks longer than usual. I dont know if this contributed to the result, I doubt it, but there was a change. Usually I lift the panel and the only growth is algal. […]

All work and no play…..I have never subscribed to the idea that you put your life on hold for the construction of the boat, I have never wanted to trade hours now for hours later and prefer to continue to enjoying life as well as build. And believe me, it does not get much more […]

Whilst June will virtually be a month off, I don’t anticipate making much progress in June due to family commitments for the first weekend and a holiday to Vanuatu taking up the next weekend, I anticipate only 20-30 hours work this month and some of that will be taken up with a long overdue clean […]

The kickboards on the bridgedeck are 140mm high (50mm may be hidden under a false floor), and on a boat with limited space that is a lot of shelf space to lose. And the black box processor of the 8000i screen is quite big, so I have decided that a great place to mount it […]

Back on the boat after the Sanctuary Cove boat show. Numbers were well down at this years show, and it didn’t help that I had a pagoda stand outside so when it rained I had no-one passing my stand, and it rained most of Friday. Last year we lost an entire day due to weather […]

A short day today, Jo is down for a week, but I leave for the Sanctuary Cove boat show on Tuesday so because of us living in separate states for a while we went out for the afternoon. I did manage to get a start on the nav cabinet that will house the electronics and […]
