Lorna, the owner of the two fluffy dogs that have starred in here many times before, kindly provided an excellent B and B service for us. She even lent us the fluffy dogs for walks, Pip looking chilled (as he nearly always is):
and Poppy looking intelligent (she is):
It was a social time indeed. We caught up with Steve, the man who used to operate the big yellow waterbus on the bay together with Bronwen his spaniel:
The worried expression was because she had far too many people around her who were eating and she had to decide who her victim would be. We also had the chance to inspect the many upgrades that Simon and Nika had made to their lovely timber yacht to prepare for a summer cruise to the Baltic. They are braver than we are, expecting no impact from whatever pops out of the Brexit chaos.
Whilst we were away, the electronics refit work continued and Roland the engineer checked and deemed OK the main engine shaft alignment. Less successful was getting a wireless remote device to work with the crane. Some investigation is needed - we will report back later......
Upon our return, we found that the old radars were now resident on the boat deck:
Not sure how useful they will be there to be honest. Their next home will be on eBay as they still work well and might be a useful replacement for someone with the old Navnet system who doesn't want to go through the fun and expense we are enjoying. We also had one of the three new screens but again, propped up on the pilothouse seat it probably isn't terribly useful yet:
Progress though.

Thanks for your ideas / cheek / corrections / whatever! They should hit the blog shortly after the system checks them to make sure they will not put us or you in jail.....
