Following a hectic week of clearing up after The Wedding of our daughter in Yorkshire, Skipper and Mate are now back aboard Follyfin at Arzal, Brittany, her current home.
Brittany very warm and sunny on arrival Monday morning but relaxation had to wait awhile as the Engineer had to make a small repair under the keel before Follyfin was lifted back into the water ... with only 24 hours in which to do it. The repair involved squeezing into and working in a very small space under the floorboards, disconnecting lots of wires, unscrewing several giant and reluctant bolts, cleaning up the rust from the area, applying anti-rust paint and then doing all that in reverse.
Quite a marathon especially since both of us have been hit by an unnamed bug (virus?) causing flu-like symptoms - possibly caught off our 7-month old grandson Noah who came down with something similar during the wedding weekend. Not that we are blaming him of course! We persevered and managed to prepare Follyfin for launch just in time. And now it is time to recover as we lie at anchor a few miles up river in peace and tranquility, just RELAXING!
NOTE: Sorry Folks, no pretty pics in this post yet ... since I last posted 'they' have done something to the app that I use and at the moment I can't figure out how to get round it. Hope to add pics later once problem is resolved. FB.
Welcome back! We look forward to following you via your posts over the next weeks. Hope the wedding went well! With love from Dave and Jennie.
