Slow progress

After an excellent weekend cheating on Robinetta in the Solent we had planned a full day today. We hoped the mast would be in and I could de-winterize the engine and rig her while Alison and Alex finished the painting. Then Alison got a call and needed to work at a school in Harlow. Alex and I got there about noon. No mast, no welding. We have been promised it will be done by lunchtime tomorrow. I got the engine done and loaded everything up. We did a little painting and Alex sanded the blue parts of the hull ready for the final coat. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, but the weather is set to be rubbish again. Had a chat with Rob Williamson and his mate Wayne.
