Storm Petrel high and dry

Well another year and another trip to the slips. New folding propeller being fitted today. Hope to see an improvement in light weather sailing.

Cheers,

Loking good Mark,

Time to sand and varnish those toe rails!

G'day Michael,

Thanks, I think polishing the topsides lifted the old girl's spirits considerably. As to the toe rails - I sanded them back last year - alas they are due for replacement and as this is going to be expensive it will have to wait a year or so (until I can convince the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it would be a good investment to spend even more money on the boat).

Sorry you are unable to make the Rumb Line Race on the 5th, it looks like being a lot of fun. I am surprised Denis had not had more interest.

Cheers,
Mark
