Nipped down to Morgana this afternoon to check her over.... and the good news is that the ground plate fixings are as dry as a bone....
I went primarily to finish the watermaker mount.....
Firstly, I added a couple of wooden wedges that I prepared at home... this finalised the outermost legs, ensuring that they had full contact with the hull, and thus maximum support, and then, with concern over strength playing on my mind, I also bought a small pot of epoxy and cloth, and glassed the feet to the hull.... this should make it very secure.
It wasn't easy glassing in such a confined space, so a couple of bits are less than perfect, but they are robust, and are out of sight, so i'm not that bothered.... besides... once the watermaker is bolted to them, then they'll be all but invisible...
The cockpit looks a complete mess.... we traipsed quite a bit of dirt in last weekend, so next weekend will have to start with a thorough clean up of the cockpit.... the decks also need a bit of a scrub after winter, so I guess we'll combine the two tasks...
Next weekend we have sister and brother-in-law down, who are in the area for an Oppy event, so not sure at this stage whether we'll be sailing or not.... depends on the weather a bit.
