My apologies that it has been so long since my last post.
I'm afraid the combination of trying to sort out my place in Taunton, leaving events, colds, bad weather, new flat with associated decorating, good weather and on-going work on Moontide seem to have taken their toll on my time!!
The engine has been out and serviced, the floor under cleaned and painted and the engine is now back in place. With the last sea-cock (a device to enable water to go out of the boat but not come back in!) replaced today, the boat is just about watertight and we hope to get her back in the water in the next few days.
Things have been really delayed as we were not able to finish painting her and get five coats of anti- fouling on her until last week. She now looks beautiful with her additional black stripe of boot topping on the water- line for extra protection.
