'They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter’s morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea! '  Edward Lear


We have running hot and cold water and a functioning shower! The cockpit has had its first top coat and we are applying multiple coats of varnish to the doghouse.

Unfortunately  I have had an operation on my hand so varnishing  is on hold until I heal. Tristan has wired in the electrics, fitted locks and connected most of the sea cocks. However we still have a rather large hole where the exhaust will go, but we are going to paint the topsides before we bung it up!  


Four coats of varnish ..... six  more to go (at least)!
