Well its been nearly two months since I've been out of the water to have my hull Coppercoated, but also two months since I parted company with my mast. I understand that the issue with the spreader has now been sorted, although the French company Sparcraft washed their hands of it, since they changed their design some four years ago ! So this Friday I shall return to the Cowes Yacht Haven and be re-acquainted with it and have all the standing rigging tensioned up and feel whole again.
Hopefully my jib will have come back from being laundered with an all new UV strip and I shall once again be ready to take my crew out should a crisp winters weekend look promising. There's all sort of engine spares in my saloon, so assume my skipper is looking to give my engine a complete service some time soon. That will be good it has been quite a few years since I've had one of those. If only he could shift the air lock in the heating systems fuel line then both he and I will be cosy whilst he works on it, or more importantly if we go out for a weekend.
Frost has fallen a couple of times during the clear nights, but no way is it like it used to be in Inverkip, Scotland, snow now is a distant memory, lets hope it stays that way !
