Since the last entry life aboard ‘Piano’ has been going at full speed—well as fast as possible with the heat and humidity. Kay has been and given us a great quote for dinghy chaps and a UV cover while it's stored aboard . The engine is back aboard and working well (Thanks Falco). All the sails are now off and packed apart from the main which is having new tell-tales and a thorough inspection. Pot-luck has had low numbers now that there are only a few cruisers here at Crews Inn, so we cycle to TTSA and join the fun there on a Monday evening. They had a pretty good Pig Roast the other week which is cooked in a metal box from 9.30 in the morning and ready about the same time that night.
We have also had a further two meals at the Culinary School and enjoyed both equally. Our friend Chris (Quicksilver) accompanied us for the final and he too was impressed.
Ray & Irene (C-Drifters) have been back AGAIN to look at the sewing machine and dare I say that it seems to be working well again. I finished the new petrol can cover and sundry items which needed repair without a hitch.
The biggest item of work now is packing for the lift out. We have a 20 ft container in which to pack EVERYTHING eeek it will be just like Rustlers back in 2009! Except I now have a comprehensive spreadsheet with the location of all items so re loading should be much easier! The work is estimated to take 3 months and with all the mess we have decided to fly home during September. We have even secured the cottage for October so will be pleased to see visitors ‘at home’ in Penryn.
Saturday Morning is for catching up on news of blogs from all our friends and Facebook. So I was very pleased that so many followers liked the new cover shot for my Timeline comments however brief remind us of you all.
