John, the skipper had a list. I was given a tin of varnish and a brush
Whilst Louise was given various cleaning duties, and started packing some of our things into our cabin in the Forepeak. She appeared to be enjoying working on the boat.
John has been very busy whilst we've been in Scotland, and Chelone is just a few cosmetic jobs away from being ready to tackle Biscay and the Atlantic. She may be in the water as early as Friday, with a shake down sail for us all planned soon. There is even a possibility of us leaving port on Sunday, so we watch each weather forecast with a keen interest.
So, sanding, three coats of varnish, cleaning, scrubbing, refitting metalwork removed for sanding, and the day flew past. Another crew member, Ross, joined us around 4pm, after finishing work on one of the Range boats.
Louise and I left at 17:00. A brief stop to walk Tigger, who'd been very patient all day, at Carew Castle.
And we watched a Heron and a couple of shags hunting fish which swam up the river with the oncoming tide, as the sun set.
