Is the unguent for the skipper or the boat? Those of us with plastic boats just buy some Oxalic Acid from C_W, but that is definitely for the boat. Maybe wooden boats do need to be rubbed with soothing ointments.

My mistake. I meant Llamas.

Hope he disnae out them in a bag or we willnae ken who tae adress!

I'm just wondering where I would stable a llama on a Folkboat. There isn't really room in the cockpit and if I sent it below it would probably eat my supply of unguents.

Ash - Ever slept in a wetsuit before? Hot Vic (not my boyhood friend, the nazal ointment,) is an advantage, i'm told.
Craned in today. Stayed afloat. Mast up, forgot to reeve a halyard for my new budgie -ooops.
Totally wrecked the wheelhouse shelter-canvass/ thingy, so goodness knows what we'll end up with by April, but that's part of the fun - isn't it?
We appear to have function, who gives a chyt about aesthetics????

Chyt???? Never seen it spelled like that before, is it meant to sound Dublin as in rhyming with kite, or English rhyming with hit?

Looking good for the 24th.

I saw mine today for the first time since November. she stayed afloat throughout the winter. She's survived surprisingly well - she only had one other visit, by Joan, in January. The boom had been swinging a bit - burst the line to the backstay - and loosened the main sheet a small amount.

The worst thing was that the small shallow bilge sump under the engine had a fair amount of water so the whole engine was wet with condensation. I think that the seal on the big access panel in the cockpit sole is leaking.

The heat exchanger seems to have survived the deep frosts - when I went up to winterise the engine I didn't buy any antifreeze as I was sure that I had 5L in the locker - turned out to be only 2L so the raw side had a limited amount of 33% run through. I intended going back to run through a lot more at 50% but it never happened.

The electricity credit had run out so no dehumidifier but nothing felt too damp.

Bit weird - the batteries are sitting isolated and with no input - engine start showing 12.6 and domestic showing 12.3 - both wet lead acid and the domestic is newer. Will need to get back up soon with my ex BorderMaid twin output Sterling toy.

I would have thought it would be the Celtic "kite". I assume Bill is trying to bypass Nick's bad word filter.

Shite usually comes out as scottish excrement.

It's good to hear that Ash has had a trip to Mistral.
