 Swiftwing from Tia Ann.
 The long suffering wives at the end of the working
day. Bring your own bucket.
 Steve working on the bowsprit of Tia Ann. Whilst he
was at anchor last year another boat dragged down on him and pushed the bow
sprit back by nine inches.
 One of Ann's orchids which she grows on
board.
 Look at the shine on that paintwork. Swiftwing a
few days after she was launched.
 The cockpit during the overhaul.
 The same view after the new hatches were fitted and
the sides filled, fared and painted with Awlgrip.
 Bev sanded, varnished and painted everything in
sight. Swiftwing looks fantastic for starting this years cruise.
 The refurbishment of the toilet mid way to
completion.
 Lengths of teak sanded down to smooth with 400 grit
sandpaper and varnished to a glass finish.
 A propeller driven cat which can sail directly
upwind at eight knots.
 The things you see when you don't have a
gun.
 Our day out with Fran onboard Joy. Fran (Francis)
at the helm.Fran tries to sail Joy every day and keeps her
on a dock at the bottom of his garden.
.
 The beautiful 'Joy', which Fran restored from a
wreck.
 A garden shed with an outbourd crosses our
bow.
Thats all for now.
