26 September

Cockpit nonslip EVA fitted.  I was hoping to do the cockpit floor in 2 pieces but just did not have enough in a big piece.  Used 3 sheets of 90cm by 2.4m and have plenty small offcuts left over.  It is very comfortable and a good nonslip.  Just dont know how long it will last.  It is pretty soft.  I attacked a small offcut with 80 grit and nothing happened.  If it lasts for 2 years I will be happy.  

Lots of rain on the way with a tropical storm passing close to the north of us.  

Starting on the self steering tomorrow.
