Productive Weekend

Well what a productive weekend that turned out to be. We got everything we wanted and needed to do finished with plenty of time to spare for enjoying ourselves as well.

On Saturday after a mornings shopping in Lincoln we headed back and set about the hard work. First up we jet washed the canopies and whilst Liam was doing this I set about cleaning the cockpit upholstery which has come up a treat. It looks a different colour. With that done we headed back to Lincoln on a friends boat for drinks by the Brayford Pool, followed by a great curry before heading back to the marina for last orders in Yots Bar.

Sunday was greated with hangovers all around but we soon put them behind us as we started to Fabsil the canopy. We managed to apply the Fabsil to the large top section of the canopy in situ but it was realistically too windy to take the side sections off and apply it to them so hopefully between now and the end of May we will get a calm day to finish off the job. With the canopy done we set about cleaning the dinghy. The growth on the bottom was unbelievable for just a few months growth. With  mixture of cleaning products some magic sponge and a lot of elbow grease we did manage to get the vast majority off. Again between now and our holiday in Wells next the Sea we will pull it out again and attack it once more and it should be like a new dinghy again. The difference is already vast. With a quick pump up it looks like a new dinghy again.

With the work finished it was time to settle back with a beer, listening to some music and waiting for the Cajun chicken to cook in the slow cooker. A great end to a great weekend. Now we have just five days at work before we head out with Lincoln Boat Club on their bank holiday BBQ cruise.
