So having spent the festive period topping up my knowledge on sun and star sights I was looking forward to my week in Falmouth. Unfortunately the centre had to post pone the course due to a last minute change of plan for the instructor. So with a week off work an AirBnB in Falmouth there was nothing else for it but an unplanned boat week in Plymouth to crack on with that refit list!
So Monday morning I headed to Plymouth via Topsham to pick up some redundant flares and arrived ready for work via the flare drop. Monday afternoon was spent working through the work list so that we knew what we wanted to do for the week.
Tuesday morning saw us start work, the main objective was to close out a series of jobs that had been either waiting on parts or time to complete. This is mainly plumbing and resolving issues the previous owner / owners had created with their boat building skills. The weather for the week was not on our side as several Atlantic storms are rolling into the south west peninsula as they do at this time of year. This restricts us to below decks which is slightly annoying as we have lots to do on the upper deck.
It is now Friday and the week is drawing to a close, the good news is the work list is getting smaller and we almost have two working heads compartments on the boat! The bad news is is that my fixfail VW has had an engine warning light come on so I could be having a mini adventure getting home.
