Progress on jobs

 A couple of trips to the boat since strict lock down lifted and things are coming along. I am hoping that I have dodged a bullet with the dip stick problem. After getting it out with a set of large mole grips I have straightened it out, changed the oil and so far all seems good. I have installed a gimbal from my jet boil and a vice in the cabin which can double as a table bracket. On the big job list; I have almost completed replacing the lower stays. The old ones were undersized at 1/8" and of indeterminate age. I have fitted 5mm stays with swaged eyes at the mast end and swageless eyes at deck level. All with the help of a friend whilst the mast was up. Other jobs include checking out the sail wardrobe and fitting a proper sea bunk. Photos to follow.
