You're not having another day of are you guys?

No, nothing like that.... just LIFE getting in the way and eating up time!

How am I going to go without my daily Play Pen fix?

I thought I could wean you guys off a bit.... but can see now that the withdrawal symptoms are too harsh

[Figjamm]

Has the weather affected the repairs to the boat at all???

No, the weather has affected our daily income though.... must remember to order some floaties for the diggers

I think we'll be happy with anything that's legal size

P.S Having a real dé·jà vu moment here, seems I replied to this days ago.... then it vanished during the server glitch

[Figjamm]

Re-posting seems this vanished during the server glitch as well.... sorry to have kept you addicts waiting so long

Kingtin and his family arrived late Saturday for an overnight stay,
delivering the rod holders mentioned earlier and providing us with good
company as usual

Day 48 - Sunday

Kev and his deckie witnessed a glassing session as some of the framework for the new anchor hatch was put in place,



and checked out Ross' sanding technique.



Later in the day.... our young fella looks really enthusiastic (not!) about
holding the light while dad glassed the bottoms of the side pockets

[Figjamm]

Day 49 - 52

Bogging and sanding.... and more bogging and sanding. Trying to get every little nick and scratch out of the hull.

PS who cooked what for supper ?

T'was a combined effort. Kev's deckie cooked some snags on the BBQ for the youngters, then Ross barbied some steaks for us oldies, while I stir-fried up one of my Chuck Many Veggies & Prawns in the Wok deals.

AND DID KINGTIN GET TO SEE THE GLASS FRIEND ????????

Not during this visit.... but he has meet him before
