Yup, I want to scream! There's so many things going on here at the minute and its definitely getting on top me now.

It makes me wonder if when we chose the name for the boat, if we really did curse ourselves!

So, there's lots going on and depending what happens in the next few days, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ballistic, more of which I'll tell you about when its all cleared up!

Yesterday started off really well too, as we finally met up with Doug and James on Chance for a coffee and a chat - something we'd been talking about doing for quite a few months. They are currently travelling around and also have Olly off Queen Maeve with them who also came along yesterday morning.

I took a Victoria Sponge to go with the coffees, which I hope everyone enjoyed and, yes, they finally got a picture of me!!




(Nope, thats not me, that's the cake....)

Apparently,the guys thought I was an anonymous hermit tucked away in the boat (I am!) and thought it was funny that there's never any pictures of me on the blog and wanted to expose me.

So here it is, stolen from their own blog, as we forgot to take any pics!




Can you guess which one I am?! If you can, then there's your reason as to why there's never any pictures of me on here :P !!!

Well, thanks for having us on board guys, great to meet you all and hopefully we will see you again...

Apart from that, life has been a bit quiet on board apart from all the problems!! I'm thinking of painting the upper interior cabin walls in a light cream colour (which will probably be black in a few weeks once the stove gets going?!)

I think I need to paint them as the last few months being stuck at home and staring at oak, oak and more oak everywhere has left me feeling like I'm in a coffin - so it's time for a change ;)

Well, despite everything, at least I've not lost my sense of humour! Yet! That'll be next week.

    Hi guys - great to see you back again, we had wondered what had happened to you! Chin up - hope your knee gets sorted soon. Try to stay upbeat and when we finally get to your neck of the woods we will drop in to say hello!

    Hi Lewis, you are the one at the very back near the doors. I had noticed there weren't any photos of you, don't know why, you and Pav are both very handsome. Anyway, I have read every post on your blog today. Your boat is gorgeous. Rob did a fab job, I think he was working on both yours and mine around the same time last Dec. Coincidence. Looking forward to reading more. Clare x

      Hi, glad you're enjoying the blog . Ha! Yes you spotted me but I looked like crap that day! I usually stay out of the pics - shyness?! Not photogenic - something along those lines! Yes, rob originally came for us in October/November last year and has been back most months since - he always makes things look better! Think we're addicted to boat fitting!

Where Can I Begin?

It's been nearly 9 months since I last blogged and I can't actually believe it's been that long - feels like it was just a few weeks ago really. At this stage then, I'm not sure if there'll be any readers out there, but I suppose if I want to carry on chronicling life on the boat, I need to make a start somewhere! I think the reason for the lack of blogging is, in part, because I was boring myself (never mind anyone else that reads it!) and it was starting to feel a bit too personal. I seemed to be detailing my life over the internet for anyone to read and I suppose in some ways, I was starting to get a little uncomfortable with that. However, that's what blogging is, I know! It's a diary of sorts, which is obviously only one 'facet-of-a-diamond' in terms of "our life", but still somewhat a diary and not what I initially thought would be just a way of referencing what we had done or had fitted (etc) in the boat. I have missed blogging somet...

Even on Boxing Day we manage to find time to do some "boaty" jobs! We basically finished off the wiring-in of the new small inverter that we've fitted on a 12v cigarette socket directly to the batteries for the TV and aerial. We still had the thick cable hanging down the wall to the sockets which looked a bit of an eyesore and I couldn't bear it any more! It all looks neat and tidy now and we've really noticed an improvement with the battery capacity. With everything we usually have on, using the main inverter was taking around 10-13% out of the batteries an hour, which was way too much! With this new inverter we are only using around 3 or 4% an hour which means a lot less engine running time ! It's fantastic. I think this also shows that it WAS the main inverter that was using the battery capacity and the batteries aren't knackered after all! So if there's any people out there who are planning on getting a new inverter or are fitting a boat out etc, D...

A Little Bit Better...

Yes, we're feeling a little bit more positive about it all today and we've even been cracking a joke or two about it all as well. Today, we didn't get up until late - nearly 11, despite planning an early start to run the engine beforehand to charge up the batteries so we could let it cool enough to work on and fix the exhaust. It left us a bit short of time, but we definitely needed the lie in- with everything going on, it's just drained us - plus I didn't sleep that well last night either due to the local party scene outside!! We had a bit of breakfast/lunch and then Pawel set off on attempting to apply the gum to the exhaust. Here's how it was looking: It's a bit awkward to get to as well as it's the top of the silencer, so it has broken away right on the opposite side to where you can get to - nearly against the side wall of the hull. Poor Pav! He had a little hand held mirror and a torch to help and applied it as best he could. It d...
