Boat Manoeuvres

In between rain showers we swapped boats between trailers and got several boats ready for moving to another location for winter storage.

3 Steps Forwards and 1 Step Backwards

Saga has received her first coat 'sealing' coat of varnish. This coat will be lightly sanded back before subsequent coats are applied.

The interior of Doris has pretty much been finished, some deck work remains to be completed.

Work has started on cleaning out the inside of Laverne.

Cingalee has been put back on a trailer ready for moving back inside as her paint work is suffering having been outside for well over a year now. Her paint work will require some work when we have time.

Field Trip

A field trip out to Herston & Kirkwall with the big trailer to pickup some old spars and floor boards.

Sorting out what to keep and what not in an old Northern Lighthouse Board building.

Looking Back

Many other things are going on in Orkney during the summer months so less time is available to work on boats. A few photo's from 2017 of the Otter Bank, more details here. The restored Otter Bank was on display in an old Romney Hut at Lyness, Hoy until the Lyness Museum closed for refurbishment in late 2017. The Otter Bank has been in storage ever since.
