Locked Out!

Being the summer some of the regular volunteers are sometimes away on vacation or just out for a sail around the islands. This was the case last week for this blogger. This week - we have been locked out of one of the storage sheds we still have boats in. This happens from time-to-time when one of the other parties we shared the shed with forget to lock the separate padlocks in a chain and instead lock the two ends of the chain together. It will get sorted.

Painting continues on parts of Doris.

and when not working some of the team get together for chat over coffee.

Not all our work is on boats

The restoration of 3 tonne lifting gantry is complete and the rebuilt gantry has now been lifted onto its wheels.

We also completed maintenance work on one of the boats trailers which required a strap replacing.

The larch wood log delivered a couple of weeks ago have been moved to a more convenient position at the side of the storage shed.

Today there was some discussion on what and how further work on some of the boats should progress.

and a little painting was fitted in.
