...with my wrong e-mail address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) With Earnest's move to Ireland and the associated tons of spares and stuff that is travelling with it nearly sorted, I have turned my attentions to Mini Me and started a fair bit of work. The owner has of course concentrated on "important" things...like new curtains and interior decor! I have had the two leaky windows out and resealed them with clear silicone, painted roof and rear rails (steel) as well as stripping and revarnishing the rail cappings and roof handrails. I still have the brakes and bearings to service and adjust. Linda has just appled to go to the Moria Festival (13-13 May), leave boat and trailer up there, for two weeks, then go onto National Trail Boat Feastival on the Grantham (16-28 May)....once the boat is "moving" we may do something on the way back. If the boat moves about and is not permanantly on our drive, we may get away with leaving in on our drive for the in termediate time. Linda is thinking of applying for the "bottom" award.....citing the blocked rear deck drain hole, causing us to "sink" the boat....on the M4 (torrential rain when we recovered it from Bristol. )This was due to leaving the tow rope thingy still through it and the rear well filling with water and overflowing the rear doorstep!)
