Hi Rob I'm here and champing on the bit !! We were hoping to go to sea for a trip this week but what's the point in the cold foggy drizzly weather. I leave that for our heros on this forum . BTW he's very quiet lately !! Come on Jeff get Towser in the water and get posting

I wouldn't give up the day job. Which boatyard are you in that forbids the use of tarpaulins ? The simple and cheaper option would be to move to another yard . In 50years of boating I have never heard of a
Yard taking such action.

..........As I'm getting acute withdrawal symptoms from the lack of your interesting./entertaining posts of everyday life aboard .Yea yea I know we are liveaboards ( full time ) too but your blog makes good reading.

Regards

Terry
