Visit 15 August

Its 3 weeks since we went up to see progress and were very pleasantly surprised by what we saw. The engine is in and mounted, the water tank and holding tank are in, the electrical wiring is all in place and the portholes are in and two bulkheads as well as the rear doors and floor over the engine are in place. Hey we could be sailing away in her in a week or so!!! (I think perhaps that's a little optimistic especially as David is going on holiday for a fortnight. How dare he!) But she is now beginning to come together and the excitement is certainly mounting.

Latest visit

This post is a bit late as we went up to see Hoddie on 25 July.

As you will see from the photos she has had her engine installed and been sprayed with insulation. We spent a considerable time with David discussing the electrics and where we wanted power points, switches etc and left him with the task of installing them all!

The portholes were also fitted and a first glimpse of the woodwork with a window frame ready to go in
