Well that's done. A week over schedule in Dave's shed but he didn't mind which is good. Milan and Mike gave me a hand on the weekend getting it on the boat. Just waiting for Duffy now to get his stuff on the wiring done and she'llbe back up. The brightwork is two coats of thinned Everdure and then 12 coats of Goldspar original. The white paint is two-pot epoxy.The other two pictures are of my shed taken from the water. I took them whilst rowing back because it looked rather choice.

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.
