DINGHY



We had decided to stay this week to get the dinghy and finish painting the deck, and great progress has been made. I have been sanding and oiling woodwork, and Dave has been patching and painting. The new colour is fabulous, a light beige, and all the old blisters and blobs have been rubbed down and filled. Now we won’t be able to walk on the deck at all without carpet slippers if Dave has his way. This will last about a week and then it will be business as usual.
The new dinghy has arrived and is just wonderful. It comes apart and is made of Kevlar and is really light and manageable. Here it is in 2 parts, stacked on inside the other, and it goes on the deck like this but upside down. The next picture is it joined up. It can be rowed or have an outboard
