Things I've Learnt This Week

That what I originally thought was a horse is in fact a bridle! Easy mistake I say.

Learnt to splice dynema.

Discovered I suck at varnishing. Cut back our last aborted final coat on the foredeck last night and tried again. Haven't been told the result yet, but when I left the garage last night it  looked like I'd dolloped too much of the stuff on this time, do am expecting to discover it has run in sheets.

Don't care. As long as she's water tight we're relaunching and racing on Sunday. Might have another go at the varnish later in the year when we repaint the hull.

Refix the fittings tonight. Then were done and ready to refloat!

Can't wait to sail. Please, please, please send me some wind (-8
