This weekend has been successful on all fronts. The weather allowed for a lovely quiet winter cruise on Saturday followed by a few pints in The Pyewipe Inn with friends.Yesterday we visited the Newark Boat Jumble where we picked up a whole host of bargains for Naughty-Cals annual spruce up next month.
Last year we purchased some antifoul paint from a chap with a local paints business and we were so happy with the performance of the stuff that we bought some more. As repeat customers we got a further discount and in the end paid £20 for a 2.5 litre tin. To put this into perspective, the stuff our boat was originally painted with was £97 per tin and didnt perform as well as the new paint.
We also bought a new dry bag for our life jackets, a stainless steel grab handle to fit onto the dashboard and a new set of moorings ropes. Again a bargain at £23.50 for 38m of 10mm braided Marlow mooring rope in navy.
To top the weekend off we finally got around to installing the last two LED replacement bulbs into the bedroom area and also managed to get the seven day timer for the Webasto heating installed and working. So we awoke to a toasty warm boat this morning.
All in all a very successful weekend.
