Beez Neez
Splashes
![]() Nearly ready for the
off
We were up bright and early on splash
day booked for 11:00, so we were shocked to find the boys at the door at 09:30.
But this is Trinidad we didn't think anyone was ever
early. Laughing they went for a cuppa.
![]() ![]() When the boys returned they set about
putting new plastic on the strops to protect the girl
from getting scratched. Jason showing a bit of leg in
a new fashion statement
![]() ![]() We think the trusty and overworked yard vehicle will soon become a candidate for
the 'one careful owner'
![]() ![]() A closer
look. Time for a bit of fun as one of the other chaps lifts the strop and surprises Steve
![]() I asked the boys to pose which they happily did. I called
this - 'you may love your friends but watch your
back'
![]() ![]() Strops in place.
Bear putting anti-foul where the chocks had been, now
ready for the off
![]() ![]() Sean at the
controls, Beez gently leaves her temporary dry home
![]() ![]() Round the yard
under the watchful care of Steve and Jason. Francois
(Equa Regis) ready to cycle to the quayside to take
our ropes and Anthony (Wild Fox) ready to board to rope the pillar
![]() Finally Beez gets her lowered into her natural
habitat
![]() ![]() By late afternoon,
outer working cover in place, Baby Beez faithfully at her
side. The girl looking great
![]() Um - just a bit to do inside. All cupboards emptied for cleaning
and sorting. All brass down for cleaning. A bit more varnishing and we should be
ready to go within two weeks. Bear is afraid to stand in one place too long if I
am armed with a paintbrush. We will leave here to Christmas in Bequia just as
soon as the girl is spick and span inside and out.
![]() ALL IN ALL SIMPLY FANTASTIC TO BE
BIB-BOBBING
I JUST NEED TO FIND MY
SEA-LEGS
