On Saturday morning Jamie presented himself for work and the first grey coat of bilge paint was painted.  He rang me in the evening and said he ached in places he didn’t know existed!  On Sunday he was back again for the second white coat …

Phill joined him on the Saturday and spent most of his time at Norfolk Marine in Hoveton buying or ordering loads of bits and pieces!

On Sunday he also helped with Crocus by cleaning the top of the cabin roof …

It is now only two weeks to Easter and our promised launch day!  Nick was given an Easter Bunny with a label attached saying “Easter is Cancelled”.  Poor bunny was hung by a noose in the workshop!
