Shiny

We got a replacement pin for the Wykeham Martin drum. Of course it is brand new and shiny compared to the years of patina on the rest of the assembly. There is a small gap at the ring end even when the thread is fully home, but it fits nice and tightly.

In other news, we have decided where Robinetta will spend the winter. She will be at Adam Way's yard at Cairnbaan. That is just a short trip from Ardfern. We will take her there during the first weekend in October and she will stay there until some time in April. We may talk to Adam about doing some winter work. She is letting quite a bit of water in via the top sides - not good for sleeping on a rainy night, and we still haven't completely cured the garboard leak.
