True Colours - Preparations underway

Preparations underway

True Colours

James Scrimshaw

Mon 22 Sep 2014 20:15

Getting ready to go. Flights back to Antigua booked for Sunday 23rd November. Villa in Jolly harbour booked for 2 weeks, and relaunch agreed with the marina for Tuesday 25th at 1.30 pm. Villa has a pontoon, so we hope to be able to take True Colours round and re- commission her there. We've asked the marina to arrange the antifouling and anode renewal - decided that it was too steep a reintroduction to the heat to start sanding and antifouling ourselves.
