soggy sunday

The weather lived up to the forecast, it was indeed wet and nasty, so we've been hiding down below with tea and cake , looking at the soggy canoeists going up and down the river in the rain.
I even saw one guy go past on a paddleboard!I have been working in the aft cabin, it's quite time consuming scraping away 50 years of paint.
Dad has started work on the chainlocker (the very front part of the boat, where the anchor chain goes) you can see him in the pic cutting some plywood to make a bottom board for it.
