1st August

Been going for about 7 weeks so far but slowing down.  Got lots of other work to do so limiting Nuts time to late afternoons and evenings.  Big house painting day today so only a few hours in the bow of Nuts

Sanded glue joints in bow in preperation of making smoothing fillets and also planed and marked fwd keel bearer.  Just need to cut/chisel ends and make to fit then drill for keel bolts. Dremmel sander is great for smoothing tight corners.

My sisters patio is finished and she has donated 2 small hatches as a thanks. 😘  My recently acquired AIS is working a treat  and can follow passing ships and the local whale watching fleet.  Just need to get all the registration and MMSI number programmed to check the transmission. April/ May (2024) launch date is still on the cards.

Going fishing tomorrow so dont expect much progress!!
