Busy in the Sunshine

With the prospect of another glorious weekend afloat in store we were both like little kids again as we packed our gear and loaded up the car this morning.

But it isn't going to be all play this weekend, we do have a few jobs that have to be done if we are ever to be ready to head to the Broads.

We have to head to Morton Boats to pick up a few items of chandlery to modify the wiring for the VHF aerial so that we can fold the arch down fully again. This is the most important job of the weekend as this will scupper our holiday cruising plans if we can't get the arch down fully.

Other jobs we have to do are a full set of engine checks especially the weed filter, give the canopies a good rinse which will mean getting them out of their storage area and hanging them back on the boat so we will do this before we head to Morton Boats and hope that they are dry when we return, which I am sure they will be. The cabin roof also wants a good polish as do the sides and lastly the cupboards in the cabin all need a good clear out with anything we are not going to need being taken home to free up some space while we are away.

We will aim to get most of these jobs done during the mornings as it will just be far too hot come dinnertime to even consider working.
