It’s up early today and we have a recky around the boat and marvel at how fab it looks. It’s also one of those situations where you make one area look nice and so the rest looks terrible so we decide to tackle the painting of the stern.
Vikky from the boatyard called them the tunnel bands I believe… they are basically there so another boat can see by the stripes and therefore know which way your boat is going if you meet in a tunnel which makes sense. I had a look into this and most people agreed this was the case but if you know of any other reason I would love to know. We decided these definitely needed painting and since the fenders had been taken off it made sense to do them now. For a better look check out the YouTube vlog which will probably be out this Sunday or next Sunday for the boat blacking episode.
There are also some other jobs to tackle as some of the fixtures the buoys tie to have broken. Again, another good job to get done whilst it’s in the dry dock. That was pretty much it today really in terms of jobs on the boat. I did give the boat a full clean as a friend is about to pop over ((YOU have friends?? What like actual real ones?? I’m not often shocked…)) Rude, i thought i would get through one short blog without you making an appearance!
I’ve added a picture of the boat pre blacking and out of the water! eekkk!
Until tomorrow… x
((P.S. In blog time space continiummumum. Which i’m shortening to BTSC it’s the 1st of September in real time so pinch punch first of the month and no return Peachy!))

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
