Visiting the workshop

As mentioned in our previous post unfortunately we were unable to see Hoddy delivered to the workshop but went up there earlier this week to see her for the first time where she will spend the next 6 months being fitted out. When we left her before she had no roof so it was exciting to see her hull and superstructure complete. Being totally empty inside gave a great sense of space and distance. Lurking inside we found the engine and water tank and holding tank all ready to be installed. The day following our visit she was due to be spray foamed so everything was covered and blocked up ready.

We discussed a few minor details with David and then went on to see how the marina build was progressing at Barby where she will be moored. Barby is now full of water and the jetty piles are all in. The owners are hoping to be open by the end of the month but I think that a tad optimistic. In the photos I've marked the mooring spot that we have reserved.

One really interesting point was the footbridge they are building to the island and its being done in the old fashioned way with a former of wood and then the bricks being laid on that. We think it will look incredibly smart when finished and its good to see that attention to detail.
