More boat movements

The elliptical-sterned racing yole Laverne has been moved from her temporary storage location to the new OHBS storage facility in Stromness. Preparation for the display of some OHBS boats in Stromness during the up coming visit of some Tall Ships continues.

Preventative Maintenance

Waterwitch sits on a one-off launching trailer which is not in the best mechanical state. Work is being done to service the wheel bearings and resolve a problem with deflating tyres. 

More nice weather = more compound cleanup

When we moved in we inherited a pile of rubbish which had been left in the compound. This rubbish had been left in the way of what will become the approach ramp for the new boat door so needed to be moved. A big trailer and a small team of volunteers sorted and removed the rubbish to the local recycling/rubbish centre.

Part way through the clearup

Rubbish all cleared

Nice weather = compound cleanup

Sunshine and little wind so rather than work in the chilly interior we opted to work outside and cleanup the compound a little. Weed killer was applied were required, moss was scrapped up and the surrounding area swept.
