After a busy time at home, and having arrived back from a trip to London yesterday evening we loaded up the car and set off for Sawley looking forward t6o getting underway and on our travels. We knew it wasn't going to be quite so straight forw2ard when as we arrived we saw 'Holderness' still out of the water
On checking it out we found that the blacking was finished, but due to the cold weather over night Alex felt that it would be best to let it cure until the morning.
We had the option of heading back home and making the return journey tomorrow, but decided to live aboard for a night so we could be launched first thing and then get away. We soon had all the stuff loaded and were settling in. We also topped up with water to be ready to set off straight away inthe morning
This is one of the original anodes that are at either end of the boat. Not down below 50% yet so at least a few years left in them it seems.
This is one of the slim line anodes that were added around the middle of the boat when we had a repaint. The pitting seems to have been arrested completely.
All looks well with the stern gear. There is hardly any play in the rudder post so the bearing cup must be fine.
All ready for the splash first thing in the morning and then a good clean up. Back to blogging for a few days at least.
