TV was the best vantage point for the Pageant. Try Wordpress for layout and Live writer for well writing.

As to weather....well I was wondering if you would consider heading back to Streetay and then perhaps summer would return for all of us!

That is some bridge....the old one had style and was missed for many of us walkers but with it missing for so long many of us have headed off in different directions. (Note to self: need to visit). Enjoy the trip and keep Brian safe, we await his first ships log entry.

For Anyone wishing to use this dry dock leased by JP Marine UK Ltd- here's some valuable advice: GET A SECOND OPINION AND ENGAGE AN INDEPENDENT SURVEYOR ! I've just had the most appalling experience of my life here

Wednesday to-day....have you finished the Galley now?

Just joking, but have you decided to build or buy the units?

It reminds me of boat we once reviewed together....will not say which but all those wires and junction boxes are the clue. Has the cupboard build made up your mind about B& Q for the galley or are you going to do it from scratch?

I know leaks are frustrating BUT it does sound as if you are making good progress. Kitchens....well which ever direction you go - you will always think you should have gone the other!

Kevin
You are wise not to try it on board where it rocks - mine is secured on dry land and even then seeing the 3" cutter spinning round is a scary sight. Its used very, very carefully.

2011-12-19T09:51:22.017Z

Hi there Captain. I've considered a router table but a bit worried about ending up with raised and fielded fingers! Also the workshop space on board is diminishing rapidly as I build more boat.

I have a kitchen door set of router cutters which,...

2011-12-18T16:09:05.358Z

I have a kitchen door set of router cutters which, if set at he correct depth, will allow me to cut an accurate groove. The opposite cutter tackles the doors but if I want to avoid the raised panel look i use regular straight flute to cut a rebate which will go in the slot. Much easier with a router table.

nice to see a new post but you've missed a spot! I think starwoman needs stronger specs there's a big rusty bit at the front. Or is that just 'traditional' style :)

Colour scheme looks great as does the engine room. I bet there were a few choice words at times. You should both be pleased with the results and spured on for the rest of the refit....I am sure we are all waiting for some spectacular images to come. Good luck.

This oak flooring looks lovely. Yes it has a character indeed. I think you have made the right decision with nailing down the boards. I am not experienced in boat building, but the wood work looks great. Congratulations on your blog and your enthusiasm!

It gives a whole new meaning to the words 'Doggy Bag'. Poor Brian having to put up with what sounds like a real Grumpy owner.....and all because the sun didn't shine!
