After being left open to the elements for a week (during which we had a lot of rain) Esmeralda was given a gentle pressure wash to remove the last of the bird muck. Her cover was also washed off and dried out. Not having a drain hole nor a working bilge pump we used an external pump to suck the collected water out from inside.

Elsewhere another team worked on a cover for Falcon. She also had no drain hole so we wanted to cover her to prevent her filling up with water.

With a bit of time left before lunch we also diagnosed and fixed a problem with one of the machine tools.
