I have to admit I am feeling pretty exhausted and have hit that bit of a slog point. With so much to do it’s hard not to get bogged down by it all.

Now the weather is improving the outside needs attention. A winter of storms has certainly left its mark . T started a few days ago on the cleaning and crikey it was black . So dirty it was unbelievable. Dirt , grime and slime with a dash of sandstorm thrown in .

As you can imagine it’s not a quick job as the boat is so big. One day you make headway only to be delayed by bad weather. A top to bottom stocktake of any damage has shown that as soon as possible we need to get our fingers out and do the flybridge . The paint is peeling badly and starting to damage the wood underneath.

On the inside I’m still battling to get the kitchen area finished. It seems like so much to do but hopefully almost at the point where it starts to come together.
