Not such a nice day in Orkney

 

A wee bit wet-n-windy today so inside work only.

Sunshine & not much wind

A rather pleasant day so a technical discussion by the boat door

Elsewhere the interior of Doris has been washed out and is now being allowed to thoroughly dry before we vac out any remaining debris. The internal fittings have been removed and are being cleaned up and prep'd for paint.

The dinghy Shamrock needs her Shamrock symbol restored on her stern so we have a template and are now deciding where to paint the new Shamrock.

On Saga we have to figure out where all the fixtures that we removed should be put back on.

The problem with birds

For the past couple of weeks we have had a several birds nesting on the top of one of our roller doors. Fortunately we haven't needed to use the roller door so we just left them alone. This morning one of the birds had found its way inside the building and couldn't work out how to get back outside again. We left a side door open and after a while it worked out how to escape.

Between rain showers worked continued on the 3 tonne lifting frame we recently acquired.

Inside work continued on cleaning out the inside of Doris which has several years of accumulated dust & debris in it.
