Next day Julian and I loaded Worm onto the car roof, and headed back to Holyhead to finish getting Robinetta ready to launch. Julian fitted the new dead-eyes he made over the winter, then spliced together a new set of lazy-jacks. After than he checked over the electrics, and the anchor chain, before putting a new rope on to tension the fore stay.

| Damage on the foredeck |

| Cabin top with fresh coat of paint |
In the past few days I repaired and painted the foredeck and the cabin roof, cleaned the cabin (thoroughly for a change), and did a variety of small tasks that have ended up with the cabin habitable, the galley usable, and everything put away. I should have changed the water filter, but it turns out that I bought the wrong size. Note to self, buy 15mm filter, NOT 12mm!
Robinetta is still a bit buried behind other boats, but the marina have assured me that the yard manager knows she is due in tomorrow. All that we have to do before launch is refit the impeller so the engine will work. After launch we will head to the marina to finish fitting out by bending on the main sail, and loading stores. What happens after that depends on the weather!
