watching paint dry

The most exciting thing to see in Southampton this bank holiday Monday, I've got some nice wet paint to watch!

I've just painted another section of the bilges, as we slowly work our way aft, cleaning and painting the inside of the boat.

grand designs

Mudlark saw a some visitors this weekend :)
Tom came down to help me, he removed and cleaned up the last (nearest the bow)
window on the port side. Then we put our thinking caps on, and built a cardboard mock-up of the new galley, to see if everything would fit in. the fridge is the box on the left, the sink is the flat piece in the centre, and the cooker is on the right.



whilst the tide was out on sunday morning, we replaced the pipe between the grease nipples and the rudder bearings, which got damaged when the stern was repaired.


And then I painted the next section of the bilges with primer
