Working on my new boat in Horning today
Working on my new boat in Horning today

Another beautifully sunny and mild day working on my new boat, commissioning the battery chargers and remote-control panels in the quiet countryside with just a Robin and Radio Broadland for company. Jack Edwards visited me again this morning and gave me some more advice and addresses of builders as the rain came later

Awoke late at 9.00am on to the sound of a Robin singing proudly on an overhanging tree. It is so quiet there and the start to the day was beautifully sunny and mild. I thought Paxton was quiet until we bought Heronshaw. After breakfast, I spent the day commissioning the battery chargers, making a hole in the port saloon bunk side and fitting the remote-control panels. I worked whilst listening to "Radio Broadland" until about teatime and then broke off for a meal before carrying on until about 1.00am. I had a milky drink to unwind after clearing up and then sat back and enjoyed the results of my endeavours.

I had not missed much outside as the weather had deteriorated and it was raining. Jack Edwards visited me again this morning and gave me some more advice and addresses of builders who might do the work on Heronshaw. Searched Heronshaw and its garage today for some solder but, although John Porter left me just about everything else, solder was there none.
