              Decided to up our travelling mooring warp game (yeah, it's winter and I'm bored).....The first part of the jigsaw is 10mm SK78 Dyneema dog-bones.....

                  Thank you. There is a tiny irregularity where the 2 buries cross in the middle. Not enough to cause structural concern, but it is fucking with my OCD, so I have bought some Dyneema chafe-guard sleeving that I will integrate over the middle 200mm. The trouble is, it is coming from, Australia, so won't be here for a while....

                    I got these decals made many months ago. They were to replace the rather small one (for some unknown reason, Sasga only put a decal on the starboard bow). Today, we got around to affixing them. There is one on the port side too now....

                        Paula and I popped down to SAKURA in filthy weather earlier today. I wanted to show @Madame-Buttonfly the new decals. We wandered to an adjacent pontoon, so that we could see the port side and the decal. Here she is with her I-don't-like-all-this-fucking-rain awning on....

                                Nothing significant. Volvo and Sasga in Spain cant recreate the issue. I have told the UK agent that If something positive does not happen very soon, I will fix the issue myself and argue the toss about who pays for it afterwards.....

                                    It’s much easier to spot Sakura, than to find infos about an extinct IH-Shirt 😉.
