This week Nick has fitted the rails, seats, compass, bilge pump and solar panels!!!! Nice one mate!
We were hoping to get on the water but the oars haven't arrived yet. They should hopefully be here at the end of the week.
We can hear the sea calling to us now!

Progress
We’re getting there!
Last week I gave a talk to the Rotary club who were very kind to provide dinner for me that night.
The evening appeared to be a great success. I have also had two weeks off from work where I have really cracked on with the building of the boat.
My mum says when she grows up shes going to be a boatbuilder as she has got right into it.
We have had very useful input from Guinny our boat builder who without we would have been lost.
My Dad is home now aswell and has got his hands stuck into the building side of things. Unfortunately, Jon has been posted to Afghanistan, so we are all hoping he is doing fine which I know he will be.
We have appeared in the Cornish Guardian again, plus the Southern Daily Echo in Hampshire.
We have also had great news that the regatta comitte have agreed to fund a piece of equipment for the boat. Also my sister is expecting a baby any day now, so things will be less boat orientated for a while as we concentrate on her little campaign.

Sticky...
Tomorrow we will be joining the two halves of the boat together.
It’s still in the early stages but progress is very good.
Fingers crossed we put it together straight!

Well done mate, awesome event.
