Another Day, another task ticked off!
Well what a glorious day out and about! Almost spring weather and just out of January!
Todays tasks completed. Started on the trailer today. Ground off one of the indespension units and then prepared the drawbar supports for welding.
John started filling in the hole left by the removal of the sea toilet. Another 5 layers of glass to go! The new paddle wheel for the log was fitted and aplan was drawn up for the installation of a new log. Ebay special for £69.00. Bargain. The new carpet was cut, a little faux pas as used the template the wrong way up. Luckily enough carpet to put right.
All for now.
I'm confused how did we get from red star to aetia. The keel article was of great interest to me as I have just bought a Jag 22 and am mildly paranoid about the keel and toilet issues. Started exploring today and the hul needs to be de-barnacled before I get into the keel issue but the toilet has been removed and from the looks of the "making good" I would think there was an "incident" in the past. Pretty scary to think about in view of the accident off the coast of my new home county.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave for the comment. The site has been update with the Toilet removal, let me know if any more info is required.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the Blog works in reverse order so old stuff at bottom and latest posts at the top. Red Star was my old boat which was sold at the end of last year. Aretia the Jag22 was purchased Nov/Dec time.
Hope this helps.
