The unseasonable weather for October started with temperatures in the 80's and a trip on the P.S. Waverley from Whitstable to Tower Pier as a 21st Wedding Anniversary treat for the long suffering SWMBO. But the rest of the month meant that most days a strake or two could be glued down. I'm getting to the awkward pieces now - spiling into the cabin side and odd short lengths on the foredeck means that each strake takes about two hours to lay. Compare this with earlier in the job and four planks at a time fitted and glued in a single session of about 3 hours. Oh well.
Saturday was our club AGM and laying up supper at a sailing club on the Hamble. Most enjoyable to meet like minded nutters and remind oneself why one spends so much time restoring these old beasts.
A slight shock on Sunday as the most of the clocks in the house set themselves back an hour - the cooker and heating system didn't manage it of course, and now it's dark at five PM and time to hibernate in the workshop - which is unfortunately a total tip, filled with short ends of teak and glue boxes and... I suspect the next rainy Sunday afternoon is reserved for mucking the place out.
Time, I think, to start concentrating on the electrical drawings and finalising the circuit specifications - but first, a cup of tea...
