The big day is getting nearer! I can feel it! The main jobs list is shortening each day! Interior lockers are now all painted and the keels have had a dose of fertan. The next few jobs I might even get done in one day if I’m extra lucky.

• antifoul primer
• antifoul
• fit new fire extinguishers (bought already)
• polish gelcoat (if I have time)
• tidy up remaining woodwork (maybe do this after launch)
• re-attach stanchion lines

I’ve also started bringing home tools that I don’t need at the yard now, and brought back the fenders for a good scrub. Unfortunately 2 of them have got punctures so those need to be replaced.

There isn’t very much in the way of prep jobs I can do away from the yard. I think next winter I will take MUCH more home, it’s just a question of finding space for it.
