Went out last Saturday with the sponsor and Mike but didnt take any pics. So here's some taken in June on Mike's boat Galatea, built 1910 by the Le Huquets.
I'm the scruffy hairy one, and Mike's the other scruffy hairy one.

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.
