But then again I have the difficulty of doing things on a budget and there are weeks when the wages don't stretch to covering the work, or when the tide doesn't allow me to get on board during daylight.<br />Its slow progress but ultimately worth it. My goal is to have it ready to sail in April next year, which hopefully gives me enough time.<br /><br />I'm amazed at the transformation you've worked on Minnow in such a short time. Puts me to shame and I'm 30 years younger!<br />Mark The Skint Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892877003107509621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882921.post-34725309066628464122013-10-19T17:33:06.503+01:002013-10-19T17:33:06.503+01:00Yes Steve,

Much will depend on how the boat performs and how I feel.<br /><br />On 11th May the Jester Challenge yachts set out from Plymouth for Newport, and I would very much like to watch the start.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bill.William Serjeanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419676353659137355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882921.post-91090424998886514502013-10-19T12:15:58.645+01:002013-10-19T12:15:58.645+01:00"Spot the difference"
I hope there is n..."Spot the difference"<br /><br />I hope there is not more than one difference in the pictures. Never was that good at finding the "Missing mouses tail or the chair that has a leg missing in the second picture! I see a new Cam Cleat. So how long is your list of things to do Bill?<br /><br />What you're doing it great for mind and body. I know so many retired folk who have no hobbies or interests who will probably go down with a bang!<br /><br />Will you be doing your south coast run to Falmouth or on the scilly next year?<br /><br />Steve<br />PS: Really enjoy reading your blogSteve Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062014204863054047noreply@blogger.com
