This year is really flying by so far.
The list of jobs we have to do this weekend if we are to be in with any chance of finishing on time is quite impressive.
First up is servicing the engine. It has come around to full service time. This service includes the usual oil and filter and fuel filters but also includes the four belts, supercharger oil, cleaning the air filter and changing the trim ram fluid and power steering fluid.
Whilst he is in the engine bay Liam will also change, again the electric element in the hot water tank. The last one we were supplied was faulty. So hopefully we should have hot water again from the electric by the end of this weekend.
Another job we are doing for a second time is replacing the shower hose in the shower room. Again we were supplied with faulty parts which has meant doing the job for a second time. This job is easier said then done as it involves cutting out the shower room sink to access the plumbing and sealing it back in again is a two stage job, so even if it is started tomorrow it won't be finished until Sunday at the earliest.
As well as these important jobs we have the more mundane jobs such as cleaning the canopies, cleaning the boat inside and out, scrubbing the cockpit upholstery and then applying the vinyl conditioner, and finally scrubbing the bottom of the dinghy and putting fresh fuel in the dinghies tank.
Hopefully by the end of this weekend we should just be left a couple of minor jobs for next weekend, topping up the fuel tank, it should only need about 30 litres but we will ensure we set off with a full tank and remembering to refill the water tank so that we are ready to set off as soon as we arrive at the boat the following Friday evening.
It is the final count down now.
