So its been slow progress this month we have the tank off for welding and refurb but on board there isn't much i can get on with due to the awful weather of late . since just before christmas all we seam to have had is rain rain and yet more rain , that is until i go to work and the sun comes out - sods law that. Although we haven't got with much there is still the odd job to do and each week we need to get to the boat to check all is ok and to charge the batteries up, the mooring is good and there isn't any water ingress. this is often on a friday evening and just this takes a good 2 - 3 hrs to do although this week me and the lads went out and managed to get one job complete which was to paint the area behind where the fuel tank is located in preparation for refitting . We again only had a small weather window to get on with anything outside but as we all know everything takes 3 times longer than expected. Not being able to complete any of the jobs on the list would mean having a large hole for water to get in through - not ideal. So while Jake got on with the painting part of today [ he is smaller and fits in the engine bay better] i got on with organising the aft cabin sorting spares and tools and planning other jobs that need to be done soon. In the mean time Adam kept himself busy with drawing and coloring in and making drinks for us all So we managed to get the weekly checks done - paint the space for the fuel tank and tidy up a little .
Hopefully spring is round the corner and dryness will follow soon if not i will have to look in to getting a cover over her to really crack on with the jobs on board .
