Yesterday morning woke to brilliant sunshine and warmth.... much more like it!
Spent most of the day working on the quayside making attacking the dinghy chocks. loads of dust and dirt, just like a proper boatbuilder. Roger and lisa decided to wash down the boat as the weather was so good.
In the evening we all went around to the soooooper yacht dock where every tuesday there is a barbeque. Basically a few of the crew off each yacht get together burn food and any driftwood they can find and drink too much. This was the perfect end to a pretty perfect day.........
Just one note: Debs pointed out my italiano spelling was not good e.g. chow being a dog food not goodbye so will try harder, but what do you expect if you have learnt italian through your ipod and not a book.
anyway back to the blog:
Today was forecast to be winding and they were right. It was great fun working on the dock with large bits of plywood trying to act like sails and blow me away. Today the painter also arrived to start putting the tent up over the boat so we can take out the windows. This afternoon Roger and i tried to get the windscreens out but the job, like most things here took longer than expected... we were still trying when it got dark. It seems that when the boat was resprayed in Turkey they just filled over everything and sprayed so finding screws and old joins in window surrounds is a little bit tricky....
We have made lots of decisions today about glass and spinners (the round things that go in the screens to keep them clear of rain) and also lots of little details like the handles for the sliding windows etc. many many many discussions and thinking went on.
Finally getting used to the randomness of the music on Lisa's ipod (just wait till i plug mine into the boats system). The final bit of good news is that this could be the last meal without pumkin in it... i think i was going to start looking like Dale Winton soon with all this orange food.......(Roger and Lisa brought a huge piece of pumpkin back from their friends in france and it has featured in almost every meal except breakfast (i think....)).
Any way Ciao
is that better?
