broken computer
My computer has not been performing at all until today, so unfortunately I am quite far behind with my blog.
In fact so far behind that she is now insulated with spray foam painted in a holding coat of ocean blue and she FLOATS. I re-launched her on May 18th and to my relief none of my welds leaked, but one rivet in the skeg did seep slightly, this rusted up within a couple of Days. once in the water I decided I needed a well deserved break. So a week off and a trip to Angelsey for the bank holiday was taken.
Feeling refreshed but under no pressure I went back to work on her. First job was to load ballast in that i had acquired. So far I have put two and half tons in, which is not enough! Think I need the same again so some bricks shall be ordered.
Also been cutting the excess spray foam back which when the weather is like it is at the moment, is a bloody awful job, but nearly done.
Photos to come.
