Visits

Lovely couple of weeks visiting family and friends. Highlight was a visit to uncle Ken and Aunt Mary at their magnificent house in the Lake District. We now have an appointment in Cape Town in the future!

Now there's a plan.......

Our son Alex also cycled down to see us and stayed over a couple of weekends which was lovely. We also had visits from  my sister and family and Lynnes brother and family. Just a non stop social whirl really............

Work on the legs continues, the above photo shows Lynne looking very interested in yet another stuck drill bit. We had to drill quite a few holes.

We also fashioned some spacer pieces from Acetile Nylon, these are designed to hold the leg tubes away from the hull.

A welcome break was a visit to the local boat jumble at Garstang.

Surprised to find this rather nice Chinese lady hiding in the farmyard.

A very enjoyable morning where we got a few bargains, some non slip deck paint and a new cockpit cushion, and the all important last eyebolts to complete the legs which were finished that afternoon.

One of our neighbours in a large catamaran called Hocus Pocus is leaving for a trip around the world at the end of the month, we will try and keep in touch with Dave and his wife as our agendas are very similar. 

Just now we are waiting for a rather windy bit of weather to blow through before we head off ourselves.
