Running

With nice weather today we pulled Waterwitch out into the compound and prep'd her for an engine run. Her engine hasn't been run for 5 years or so but it started with the first turn of the key on old diesel. We let the engine run for 30 minutes to properly warm up and drive off any moisture. Now we know that the engine runs ok we will complete a full service and re-prep for storage as it may be sometime before the engine is run again.

Waterwitch Engine Run

Having received some grant funding from the Orkney Islands Council Culture Fund this year we purchased some new hand tools and built a tool rack on which to store them. The tool rack is moveable and uses the French Cleat system so we can reorganise and replace tool attachments easily.
