It's been a while!!

Wow! Where does the time go? It's the 1st of September today and the last time I wrote anything here was mid July....

Between times, quite a lot has happened, although some degree of frustration with the rate of progress undoubtedly also exists. Tapatya is now sitting proudly on the grass in front of the shed and I've made a good start on the construction of the bimini that will provide protection and shade in the cockpit and main entrance hatch area. I'm also working towards getting all of the other bits of finishing and connecting up finished and connected up. This involves fitting and sealing various bits of hardware - the main mast partners fitting, a couple of sturdy eye pads in the anchor box and the cockpit, the stove chimney top... I've fitted trim around the cabin sole edge and made doors for the cupboards/lockers in the heads. I've done some more wiring in the engine room and electrical bay. We're undoubtedly getting there, but there's still a lot to do...

Elsewhere, Hazel has spent the summer of her life cruising in Denmark. Her boat is performing well, although there's a constant list of upgrades waiting to be done... Hazel and Karin were hoping to do a charity event to raise money and awareness for breast cancer, but unfortunately, it's just been cancelled, presumably due to the ever increasing number of Covid cases here in Germany... Shame!

Here's a catch up on recent videos. Also, the Behind The Scenes videos are still being published on my Patreon page, so head over there and have a look!
