One Weekend to Go




We now have just one weekend to get Naughty-Cal ready to head for Whitby. Cutting it fine or what? The list of jobs is growing instead of shrinking and we will have a busy weekend ahead of us to ensure everything is finished off. The major jobs include:

  • ·         Changing the engine belts
  • ·         Changing the sterndrive anodes
  • ·         Changing the propellers
  • ·         Repairing a set of propellers
  • ·         Changing the supercharger oil
  • ·         Changing the crankcase filter
  • ·         Checking the fuel filters
  • ·         General engine checks
  • ·         Filling the diesel tank
  • ·         Filling the water tank
  • ·         Cleaning the bottom of the dinghy
  • ·         Hanging the dinghy on the davits
  • ·         Cleaning the outboard
  • ·         Cleaning the boat, inside and out.
  • ·         Inputting the waypoints into the chart plotter
  • ·         Stocking the food cupboard
  • ·         Stocking the beer cupboard


As you can probably see it is going to be all systems go. We probably won’t have time to go out and enjoy cruising but on the plus side we should have a clean and well maintained boat that will hopefully look after us on our first coastal cruise of this year.
