New wardrobe for Camelot

Everything is arriving at once, the water tanks are back and sitting in the bilge, while the painting and varnishing of the cockpit is finished. We were surprised to find these three blue packages sitting by our front door, an early arrival of our sails from Hong Kong!

Nice, new, white "wardrobe" stacked neatly on the boom, now to decide on an overcoat (new sailcover) colour style etc, decisions, decisions!!!
The staysail also needs a new coat due to increase in size!!,

Neil was sent aloft hoisted by the muscular Jackie to release the forestay for the fitting of its outer coating of a roller furling,
All was going well and after several remeasures assembly began, until as usual, a problem!!

One of the tracks is damaged. Feeling a bit disillusioned, riggingonly.com was contacted and brilliant service within 15 min they had spoken to Harken and another piece of track is on its way!!!! So hopefully the furler will be up on Thursay and we can get back to attacking the anchorages around the bay.

Modern day Knights gone soft

Todays Knights need soft, comfortable beds. After careful measuring of the space, and allowing for the flare of the hull, Jackie is ready to attack our new mattress with our electric caving knife.

To China camp and back

New knights on board a recce of China camp was made with refreshments and adult beverages while we surveyed the place for possible future landings and invasion!! We were spotted and checked out by their Chinese Junk and we headed back, the wind and sea's built to put up a good fight and dowsed some of new knights with the salty stuff, but alas we arrived safe and sound for a feast and review the days scouting.
