Well, Happy New Year to all you bloggers! We hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and managed in the snow! Talking of snow poor old Rowena and Venture have suffered, Rowena, when Paul, Nige, Mark and Steve Bithell went to see her on 8th Jan was weighed down under the ice that had formed on the sheet, the decks were all covered in ice where the snow had melted and then frozen. Paul soon got to work and ordered everyone to chip the ice off while he supervised!
Last weekend it was ' service the engines weekend' this meant changing oil and diesel filters, I had the very important job of handing the filters to Paul and 'gofering' for anything that he had forgotten. I was allowed to start the engines and rev them up though, my apprenticeship is progressing.
Next week Rowena comes out of the water for her annual bottom scrape and paint work. Phil, Mark and Paul will be in Endeavour Quay for two weeks,and I will be cooking. Jonny is coming to help to get some experience of maintenance, though he is looking for jobs now that he is a qualified Commercial Yachtmaster!!! Which is more than his dad is!
So watch this space for more antics!
