Even though today would off been a nice day to go out? boat jobs need to be done when the wind and rain has stopped so boatJob off the day is the wind generator needed a good looking at since I am most self sufficient in electricity and the wires needed changing a good time ago it seems

It’s been one off them weeks storm isha decided to pick on the boat last week and tore a fairlead away and snapped the teak toe rail but thankfully Jade and Owen are at hand to help repair her in quick time, but who knew it would take a week to get 6 new screws for the fairleads as I can’t find them anywhere around Pwllheli I also ran aground 6ft away from my moorings as I went to the pontoons
