Hi Andrew

How long is a piece of string?

 

 

A smartass once told me it is twice the length from the centre to any of the ends. 

[BroadAmbition]

That’s the fifth and final Ravilakk coat at 90/10 applied this morning. Toe rails and anti foul today. Brava varnish this evening. I’m a tad weary

Fantastic effort

Is it possible to video the "wetting" and get it on YouTube?

Through Mutford Lock at 1000. Underway in glorious sunshine. No leaks! All to the good BUT we initially were charging at 55amps, suspect issue with shore power charging system 

I need to clean inside and out and want another coat of varnish on Toe rails plus feet and feet of CT1 to apply

I’m knackered, legs are hurting. I have Lee from Loddon Marina onboard

That'll look nice when it's finished....

Ready for a damn good snooze then Griff.

That’s a relief then.   Lee wake him up when you get to Stalham.  

[Bikertov]

She looks amazing Griff - a credit to you and the whole AMP team !

I do hope the Admiral turned up and did his allotted duties 

[Mouldy]

Eyeball, eyeball, Mr Griffin!!

You sure you're varnishing Griff?  that looks suspiciously like something nasty in the tub!  Wasn't a bit choppy crossing Breydon was it?

Tv on, bottle of plonk, feet up and relax. It’s 2100 and I’m doing precisely nowt, see if I don’t apart from early to bed

Can't resist it "you missed a bit.:

Seriously a lovely job and Broad Ambition is very lucky to have her keepers. 

Kindest regards Marge and Parge

I slept for nine hours solid. My legs no longer ache more than the rest of me. This morning the w/c is blocked. Joy of joys. 
 

I’ve got to de-store both van and B.A. sort out the throne, apply varnish. Onwards and upwards
