Visited the boat at the weekend and spent a great evening with Jamie and Emily which included several beers and a curry. Well it was Friday night!

The boat is coming along a treat as ever and it was good to be able to look at the completed structure and sit in the cabins, which although a little tight are quite adequate for my needs. I discussed with Jamie some small changes to the original plans, as once I had sat in the boat for a couple of hours some things were not as practical as they seemed on paper drawings. We agreed to confirm changes with Phil once he was back from holiday. It was really beneficial to get a feel for the boat at this stage as by the end of next week we need the structure complete.

Met with Peter in the workshop too and finalised the electrics, we even added a couple of small speakers to allow the small luxury of some music, if I have any excess power. Emily has nicknamed Peter…Mr Grumpy! I am sure it’s just because he is tired with all his church commitments along with my constant need for more power, still think there could be room for a small fridge somewhere!!!!

Jamie is still on schedule to have the boat painted and fitted out in time for the SportsAid ball on the 9th October. Keep an eye on the Gallery for up to date photos.
