It must be a sign of desperation whilst waiting for the storms to abate - I've spent the morning in my workshop painting my boat name on my pick-up buoy and anti-fouling my main mooring buoy![:I] Is this as sad as it gets, should I get out more?! On the positive side, a trip aboard my as yet un-launched 235 showed the solar panel charging for the first time, meaning that here in the Western Isles the sun has begun to rise higher and the boat is no longer in shade![8D][8D]. It should only be a few weeks now....[:)]
