thought I would bump this on the front page again for you Bev, just so you dont have to waste pressure time when doing your report just looking for the thread. Hope you had a better weekend on the boat than I did getting Seabug a fish.
cheers

wow, its really coming along now, could i suggest maybe some stainless anchor holders on the bow rail to stop them from banging around on the gelcoat deck. what bowspirit are u putting on there. will be keen to see how it performs once youve finished her. any plans for trim tabs?

Hi Andrew - we decided against anchor holders on the bow, there's room under the welll for any spares. Pics of bow sprint will be coming soon. We were happy with Play-Pen's performance before, so don't expect that to have changed. No plans for trim tabs... an 85 litre esky usually balances the boat up nicely with a bit of a nudge one way or the other

Hi blaze - Thanks for the bump I read your report, sorry you didn't catch more, but sounds like you and Seabug had a good time getting together anyway Our weekend went well.... update on it's way shortly.

Day 132 - Ross did something... not sure what though as I was inside cooking and he didn't call me down to take any pics

Kingtin & crew came for an overnight visit.
Menu for the food addicts -
Entree - choice of homemade Pea & Ham Soup or Pumpkin Soup.
Main - Rib fillet, prawns (thank you Kingtin [smiley=heart.gif]) & gourmet spuds.

Day 133 - Kingtin's deckie, the kids and myself went to the markets. Ross & Kev stayed here to work on the boat and talk secret men's business!

Came home to find Kev relaxing....

and the windscreen is back on.



What are you doing Kev? No sleeping on the job!





This looks like serious stuff



Steps are back on....

Cleats, rodholders & a rear light.



All in all it was a good day and much was achieved.... thanks for the helping hand Kev [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] [smiley=dankk2.gif]

LOL, we were wondering if Kev planned to take it on our next camping trip

[Figjamm]

He stuck his foot through it, no his .......

HINT: Don't use plastic chairs as a step for getting in and OUT of the boat!

Project is coming along very nicely and thanks for the updates. It looks very much like sun glasses are the order of the day for being around Playpen.

I will just add a pic of a place I went for a 50th anniversary party on Sunday (yesterday) Wished we had some of the weather here. bloody cold though.

Hi Angla,

Well you certainly didn't need sunglasses where you went.... what a dismal place!

Have had a few counter lunches... and late night liquid refreshments... in that hotel myself many moons ago

It hasn't changed much over the years!

Yeah chook, not so bad, but I've been better The hip is sore and the back has only just started playing up this arvo. To add insult to injury, I trod on a catty spike and it went through the sole of my foot. Took some pulling out with those barbs..........and yes, tell Ross I've used the metho

To the readers: If you have a catty tangled in the net or you break off their spines to play safe whilst you unhook, just make sure the spines go over the side and that they don't end up sticking point up out of the carpet.

Bev, this is what I was telling you about with Photoshop........lightens the shadows whilst the highlights remain the same.

[Dignity]

Bev, while on the subject of photos, how do you put more than 1 into a post?

Knew you wouldn't be able to resist Came out a bit pixelly here so sent you the full size original to play with..... send it back when you've finished

Hope the hip & back come right again soon. Sorry to hear about the catty spike.... you're just an accident waiting to happen
