The tender is gone.... sounds like she's going to enjoy travels across the Pacific a lot sooner than I am.... she's off in the autumn on her travels...
Also, got the watermaker and SSB... even better, i've worked out where both will be going, and can now start the slow process of getting them fitted.... the watermaker first... that is all out of the way in the lazarette locker space that is wasted below the gas locker..... it will mean a little trip into the transom when we want to 'wash' the watermaker, ie flush it with fresh water, which you only need to do if you aren't going to be using it for 7 days or so.... so sensible planning shouldn't be a problem here, and its no big deal to get into this locker... just 30 seconds... it means that I need to make up a couple of plinths for the pump and watermaker.... will try to do that this week, and then either Sikaflex or Epoxy the plinths in place ready for fitting the new goodies!
The SSB is going to have to go behind the chart table seat.... its just too big to fit anywhere else.... even if I rearranged the curremt instrument panel, the space behind the panel isn't deep enough for it....
So i'd better get the dynaplate fitted.....
Doug did indeed come over last night, and with James also hanging around after dropping off the watermaker/SSB, we grabbed a couple of pints and bite to eat in the Shipwreck... yum yum.... and then Doug and I knocked back a couple of bottles of claret, and put the world to rights.... :)
