Last year flew by, and the early Summer was good fun. We travelled up to the Henley Festival (silly money for mooring) and saw Nigel Kennedy in fine form.
Jane Morris behaved herself. New holding tank is working fine, engine and outdrive were serviced by young, enthusiastic marine engineer called Charlie Best. He served his marine apprenticeship in Poole and is looking to expand his business (or, at least, was last year). Can't rate him highly enough.
Antifouling was slapped on when the boat was hauled out for engine service. But my preparation was poor, and I've noticed the antifouling is peeling away at the waterline. I should have stripped back all the old antifouling and primed the hull. I didn't and so Jane Morris will have to come out again this Spring and I'll do it properly. When the boat's out I can get Charlie to check the outdrive and sort out why the depth sounder has stopped working.
So, all in all, looking forward to using the boat again. And we hope to venture further afield this year.
