In the Water Next Week - You're 'avin a Steffie

As you can probably tell from the title we're not back in the water yet. Guarantees have been
obtained from Steve at the yard that she'll be ready to launch when I get back from my next gig at Donnington. This was extracted with the judicious use of a mole wrench on his testicles and Caskey looking threatening in the background.
We have, however, got a lot done in the last couple of days. Deck painted, running rigging replaced, winches overhauled, spray hood on etc. She's looking smart and ready to go if you don't look at the hull. ( I did take some pics but left the camera behind.)
Thanks to Shawn Plummer for the loan/donation of various bit and pieces that will come in useful, not the least of which is a top of the range searchlight. Thanks mate.
Also thanks to Caskey for his help in doing some of the shittier jobs.
Watch this space.
