Yes, I have radio 6 music streaming, which is just great, and it seems appropriate that as I select “New Post” and get ready to upload a pic of Sister Midnight, the man himself pops up.<\/p>\n

Up early to get the new boat name on the hull before its to hot. I’m\u00a0outside at 8:30 to find the cutless bearing being fitted, next the prop shaft was put in, but no prop yet.<\/p>\n

\"prop-shaft-fitted\"The boat name is sticky back plastic, kindly created for me by my long time friend Dave Fairbairn. I tried my best, but there’s a skill involved, and I just don’t have it, it’s made harder by the shape of the hull and the planking effect. Anyway from a distance a partially sighted person would think it just fine.<\/p>\n

\"starboard-quarter\"Next I decided to check the three seacocks (taps on the water inlets and outlets through the hull)\u00a0 <\/span>that are impossible to reach without an hours worth of emptying lockers, two were OK after a bit of persuading, but the most remote one snapped off. This is a show stopper, as it can only be replaced out of the water and if the pipe connected to it sprung a leak then the boat would sink with no way to turn it off. I may get the other two done at the same time just as it’s probably easier now.<\/p>\n

Had a good tidy up, \u00a0and threw a lot of junk out, however I can’t find any\u00a0pots or pans, which is a mystery.<\/p>\n

Dinner back at the same Chinese place, very nice.<\/p>\n

This is the autopilot, looks pretty primitive, almost meccano in its finesse. However on a boat simple is best. The vertical shiny bar is the rudder stock. I may have to remove the autopilot to access the seacock, I suspect the seacock was fitted before the rudder as well, great!<\/p>\n

This one is for Isaac who as a child had an obsession with how many yanmars an engine was (HP), this was a customs boat launched today, wouldn’t like to try and outrun him.<\/p>\n

\"customs\" And this chappy found his way onto the deck, Can’t think how, almost like being at sea again.

\nUp early tomorrow to sort out the seacock.<\/p>\n
