On Saturday Liam was busy helping a friend service his engines so I set about giving Naughty-Cal another good scrub. With Liam back we had a rather hurried breakfast before heading across the the fuel berth to get some diesel. With the tank full we set off to Saxilby to enjoy the BBQ party for the evening.
We had a leisurely start on Sunday, not getting up while 10am when we had to get up to put the chicken in the slow cooker if we were ever to eat dinner. With the chicken in we had a quick walk before heading back to the marina to finish up getting the boat ready. The only remaining job was getting the dinghy on the davits. Now we scrubbed this last weekend but the bottom was left with a rather unsightly film of limescale which refused to budge with the cleaning chemicals we had to hand. Luckily a friend had some Starbrite Boat Bottom Cleaner handy so we gave it the once over with this and it has come up almost like new. We were amazed at how quick and easy this cleaner was to use, within half an hour the dinghy we had scrubbed and scrubbed last weekend was clean again. With the dinghy on the davits and the outboard stashed safely in the cockpit we had done for the day so settled back with a beer and a good book to while away the afternoon and early evening and finally finished off with a slow cooked chicken, stuffing and green beans.
Now all we need to do is finish up this week at work and we can head off into the sunset at the start of yet another holiday on board.
