Sunday 18th May.
Feeling stronger l decided to drive up to the boat for a few days. Well i need to finalize arrangments for the welding that needs doing, and whilst Bracken is out of the water the hull can be de-scaled and blacked.
Before buying Bracken l had the hull and steering gear surveyed, and the surveyer made a couple of recommendations ie some minor overplating round the stern, replace the cup bearing at the base of the rudder and fill with weld two worn areas where the rudder has contacted the hull. Also on the waterline there is some scale that needs removing before blacking the whole of the hull.
I have made arrangments for someone to come to the boat and quote me for the work, hopefully on Tuesday.
Monday 19th May.
A bit of shopping in Lichfield, just the bare essentials as i'm only here for a few days.
Jenny popped in to see me and we had a good 'catch up chat'
After Jenny had gone I tidied up a bit and then drove over to G & Jaq for the evening and ended up staying the night there. Well their spare bed is big and comfortable, and their shower is big and plentiful, as is also their loo!
One appreciates these things! :)
