We live a long drive from our boat, throughout lockdown nipping to the yard hasn’t been an option at all. Over the next few weeks I should be able to do my first Saturday or Sunday trip up.

It has been quite a long time since I paused jobs, to some extent I will have to reassess what to do next, partly because I can’t quite remember what tools or consumables are at the boat. But I do have a top five list of things I can probably continue on my first 2021 fix day.

• Next layers of glass by keel bulkheads
• Service Blakes seacocks
• Finish gelcoat repairs on bow

Aside from those, I’ve got general cleaning to do and some older jobs that I might be able to do.

Fingers crossed…
