One forward two back

Antifoul applied last evening - what a lovely job I've made of it

Sheared one of the bolts holding on the anode I was about to replace...

Friday morning looming....

Ah deep joy . . .

I remember doing that in July 2005 two days before we finally launched on our aborted Atlantic circuit. New bolts, sikaflex and optimism led five weeks later to being hove to in 4m seas just South of Wolf Rock with the cockpit floor up looking for a suspected leak.

Turned out to be a false alarm - so the moral is, Sikaflex will fix pretty much anything, do it and don't even think about it ever again.

Get that tub in the water ferfeksake you procrastinating auld goat.
