The rainy season is here...



It might as well rain until September...


Saturday morning - rain. I have to deliver some beer up to the lake district, so I might as well do it while it's raining. It might clear up later.

Really slow journey up to Great Langdale stuck behind tourists. I don't mind if you like to drive at 20mph down the road admiring the view, but some of us on the road are working. At least pull over occasionally and let us past so we can finish work and get on with the boat! You know you are holding people up when you are driving a mercedes sport or saab turbo or something, and I am in a brewers van full of beer stuck behind you !
Sorry, rant over.
Dropped the beer off, and finally got back to the boat. It has just stopped raining, and it looks like brightening up.
Yipee!
The hatch opening at the back is now finished ready for doors and a lid. The stern tube is arriving Monday, and then that should be all the welding finished.


The remaining 'dry' time on Saturday was spent cleaning up all the welds on one side Then filling any indentations. Rain set in again at six, so all done till tomorrow.
I discovered the mini roller sets at B&Q for £1.95. Wow, the painting takes no time at all with these. A couple of hours of sunshine on sunday, I have got up to the gunwales on one side with primer.
