As for Summertime, Mark tells me he feels like he's broken the back of the job now, but with the osmosis treatment still to complete I'm a bit dubious of the statement. With all the rain we've had this winter her bottom is not drying out as quickly as we though it would and it's a case of patience, nothing apart from some warm weather will speed it up.
All the new instruments are installed and working in the cockpit and he's nearly completed the installation of the bow thruster which have been two big jobs, especially as he had to make the new housing for the gear lever, bow thruster control and the windlass. It looks really smart. The saloon cushions went to the upholsterers this morning and when they come back they'll make a huge difference to the look below. Next big thing to see finished will be the forecabin, it's coming on and will make a big difference to the living space. Anyway you don't have to read me drivelling on about it take a look at the piccies here
