There was no way I could work on ‘Minnow’ yesterday, because
I was fully occupied, and today, the story was almost the same, but I managed
to put in about 40 minutes painting ‘Minnow’s’ ground tackle locker. I applied
a second coat of International Pre-Kote to the floor of the locker, and I think
two coats will be sufficient for sealing the plywood.
Two anchors, their chains and cables will be stowed in the
locker. Every time they are lifted from the water, they will bring aboard a
certain amount of water. Most of it, I’m
hoping to catch in a bucket or waterproof container before I stow the anchors
etc in the locker.
Today, the bulk of my energy went into obtaining three fence
panels from Homebase and setting them into place where old ones and been blown
from their supports by strong winds in recent days. I had to dispose of damaged
panels, and I thought the best way of getting rid of them was to burn them. By
early nightfall the job was finished. Only a tiny pile of embers marked the spot
where they had been consumed by flames.
I’m going to be busy again tomorrow, because I have to
prepare a bedroom for an electrician who will be installing additional sockets
and a coaxial cable for a TV, but who knows, perhaps I’ll also find some time
for ‘Minnow’?
