Well lets start by admitting the Blog has taken a bit of a back seat of late, a combination of toddler, working on Audina and life have prevented me from sitting down to let you know how we are getting on!
We had originally hoped to sail to Cowes on the Isle of Wight for Cowes week but this was always a bit optimistic. Especially as every weekend of “quick ten minute jobs” inevitably uncovers more “to-do’s” which take significantly longer than ten minutes!
I could list all the jobs that we’ve done over the last few months but there are literally so many I am sure that I would miss some! So instead below are photo’s to show you the progress we have made.
I will work on some individual updates for specific things which you may / may not find interesting e.g. getting the engine running & installed and window fitting!
Tomorrow is set to be a big day… After over 11 years out of the water Audina will get to dip her toes in the water for the first time! Its launch day! We clearly still have lots to do but getting her on the water feels like a massive milestone and huge step forwards 🙂
