We're now ready to get planks number 4 on. So that means we're half way through the planking. If we're lucky and consistent, that means we should be ready to turn her over by the weekend!
I quite like these pics, with Shemara in the background at her mooring. Very nice!

Shemara is old but has good bones. Most of the work is in replacing corroded bits and pieces and prettying her up a little at a time. This blog might be of interest or it may not, mostly it is a record of work done and trips. It will be picture –heavy.
