I have done a bit of tinkering on Mumbles Belle this morning, after Will & Peter had cleaned the paintwork & started on the painting yesterday, I carried on this morning putting the seat & deck duckboards down to give us more room to move now lol. I replaced the old plywood deck (directly outside the wheelhouse) with new hardwood planks & gave it a coat of Creosote (probably the last in the tin) I will give it a 2nd coat when the new container arrives. I wanted to finish the duckboards and deck but the Creosote still hasn't arrived (Good old Royal Mail) but should arrive tomorrow.
Martin has started on the engine oil leak, & sounds his usual non committal self (which is a good sign) he wants to know how much of the unwanted ironware he can remove, now it is not a secondary fire tender to an oil rig, I am sure we can lose 1 cwt of heavy angle iron.
We are moving ahead apace now, & providing we don't have long periods of rain, I can see us back in the water 22nd/23rd, now watch out for high winds & torrential rain lol.
