The boat is coming along and the sprayfoamers are booked for the 16th, which gives us some idea of progress as batons will be in/on and wiring done by then. But aside from the actual boat - one of the most exciting things around the whole experience is the number of lovely river folk we're meeting. We recently met up with John and Jackie, of wb Pippin who were lovely and let us take their home for a spin, John very kindly helped me turn the boat at Baits Bite. Recently we also spent some time with friends who have a 70 foot nb which Chris turned into a headwind - rather him than me, and on purpose I should add. Even though we are not settling around these here parts, it has been so wonderful to meet some fabulous people who have provided good company and been very generous with their time and advice. So thank you. Our builders are probably not so grateful and we often leave these rendezvous and peoples' boats heaving with new ideas and, having seen some smart solutions, amendments to the plan. The calls normally begin 'If it's not too late...'. We're trying not to do this too much to be fair to the builders and regarding the structural stuff - it nearly is too late.
So here's to steel being finished and Stuart starting on Monday - and all the lovely folk we continue to meet.
