8th June

Sorry for not many updates.  Mrs Nuts had surgery on her hand on Monday so is a bit out of commission at the moment.  I have never done so much cooking and dish washing in my life before, but a quick learner!  Chose a bad time to blow up my knee cartilage but getting better and all is good. A couple of hours with the bush wacker in the garden this afternoon sorted everything out.

Stove gimball and entrance step/cockpit table got the first coat of primer. (gave trimtab a second coat as well).  Got to get several little bits ready for PU painting.  Only a few bits left to do and makes sense to mix paint  for all the bits at the same time. (2 part paint).  Been going through electrical bits and pieces that I have and planning the electrical system.  I have enough pieces to make an acceptable system but decided to get an all in one from Amazon.  8 switches with 2Xusb chargers and a  plug that I can fit in another usb charger.  Been down this road before and these usb chargers have a habit of breaking down.  They will be important for camera, phone, tablet, Garmin Inreach etc.  Sextant does not need power but as long as Navionics is working it will stay in its box.

Upholstery material has arrived but Mrs Nuts (who is a wizz on a sewing machine) is on strike with a hand all bandaged up.  She did volunteer to give me a crash course on which buttons to press  and oversee my attempts at sewing though.  Maybe fun to learn a new skill.
