Hi again all - sorry for delayed reply, lightning strike removed communications! Thanks for your good wishes - much appreciated!
DON: I could do an article if you like - how many words (ish) and can I send it on-line?
GRAHAM: Thanks for the offer of help - I may well need rigging advice on this box of ropes, shackles, pulleys, sheets and shrouds! Bill showed us how to get the mast down but as we were trying to beat the coming storm I had one eye on the detail and (literally) a weather eye on the ..er...weather! So I may find some bits without obvious homes!!
PAUL: Didn't sleep aboard as boat full of stuff and no easy way on or off - wife has bad back, no step-ladder, SEA toilet not very friendly on a car park, and the car had heating. So car got the vote!!
