Sunday 25th March
Yesterday after breakfast Andrew got stuck into some of the jobs that needed doing outside. He repaired the dinghy seat with resin and a fibreglass bandage, mixed up some gelcoat (bog) to fill the chips in the hull and cockpit cabin, measured up for new vent horns and for other things we need to buy.
In the afternoon we went for a swim had a quick nap and did a few more jobs. Andrew went ashore to help Darren get things for his party tonight and to pick up glue and patches to repair the leak in the dinghy. A job for another day.
It was a great party with great food and music. Seems like Imagine is well known around this area!
This morning there was a cool breeze and the sea was choppy, so no dawn swim. This morning Tony B came to visit and brought a new breadmaker. The old one died. He spent the day with us reminiscing over the trip to Tonga, Samoa and Isle of Wallis and catching up on what’s happening. Tony went for a long swim, practising for an ocean swim later in the year.
The next week will be spent working on the boat and getting parts, as usual the weather plays a big part in what we can get done and when.

Busy is good!
I wish I was there to help and learn more!
Cannot wait to see pictures of the new scarlett red dinghy which I believe is on the jobs list too.
