WORK ON THE BOAT CONTINUES

26 June and a month on from the wedding sees us gearing up
for moving away from Birchington and into temporary accommodation at Hamble
before we move on to the boat, “Prim Teaze of Leith”, next week. Here are pictures of the boat as it was in the shed last
week:
As you see, there’s lots of work to be done on the
hull and that is mirrored by work going on up top to get her into the best
possible shape for the start of our trip. Once we’re on the boat,
we have to get used to sailing her and finding out if all the new equipment
works, so we’re planning sea trials before we move away from the South
coast to wend our way down the French, Spanish and Portuguese coasts. We
will then stop off in In the meantime, we’ve also undertaken underwater
activity and have both managed to pass our PADI scuba open water qualification.
Here’s a picture of Tom in action he’s the one with the yellow
snorkel!
