We have had some different experiences with marina's and boat builders. It has felt good finding a marina who seem to do a grand job, make a welcoming environment and have reasonable rates.
Nigel is the decorator and having seen other boats he has painted (with a mirror finish I might add) we were well pleased to leave the boat in his hands.
Already he had grind down the boat to bare steel (the roof and cabin sides) and applied the first layer of paint.
The blue is fresh and vibrant and the cream gives her an elegance. Farewell burgandy! Thank goodness! Already she is looking like new.
We will have a matching hatch in blue and the side hatches including hatch roof is well in keeping too.
How wonderful! We both had beaming smiles taking in the 65foot of crisp charm.
The bulkheads which are still in burgundy/cream at either end will be tackled by Leigh and I at a later date. They are easy access and not showing signs of rust so will be manageable to work on.
It's evening now and we are back on the boat in the poly tunnel minus little Delia who has rented herself a nice little place to stay until the end of the week. They serve her tuna and treats throughout the day however she has complained about the other residents, particularly opposite and next door. I think it's the fact that they are feline too. Still at least she isn't in amongst the dog's kennels over the way. I do wonder how she will be after leaving boarding school... I mean borstal! No, sorry, boarding cattery, flattery, flat. Her cat's flat, Delia's flat.
