WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Tago Mago]

[Giles]

We have friends moving their boat to our Marina. I offered to make them fixed mooring warps for the pontoon.

Here's the raw materials.....Stretchy polyester braid on braid for the main warps, and 12 strand Dyneema for the short loops that go through fairleads and around the cleats on the boat. The polyester gives the warps the elasticity that is required for mooring warps, and the Dyneema does not stretch, so no annoying squeaking as the boats moves against the warps in wind/tide/chop....

@Giles Who's coming over..."that'll do"?

[Giles]

No, John and Verity have moved That'll Do to Dartmouth.

It's a couple of local friends, Charlie and Belinda, Mrs and Mrs Forsyth. Despite Belinda retiring as a Half Colonel recently, she is pretty fucking hopeless at practical shit, and Charlie, despite running a prison in Helmand (imagine that, a lady running a prison in Afghanistan, sorry that is not meant to be in the least sexist, but I know she came into the most immense amount of shit and abuse), is a bit of a space cadet too.......

I really wish that I could grab some audio. I am half a flight down in the kitchen, the females are up in the dining room. FFS, it is fucking noisy down here........

@Giles Paula / @Madame-Buttonfly looking amazing.

[goosehd]

Project is still in progress and we love what we see so far. When it’s all over, we may not need to touch the shoreline again in our lifetime. It’s coming together better than I hoped

[tody]

Went for a walk today. I love it here on the island...

@goosehd Looking good. Kind of funny, in the top photo in the frozen stuff, it almost looks like someone coming out of it.
