I spent the morning doing a job I absolutely hate and will not go back to in the US! Grinding gelcoat… it leaves you itching despite being covered with PPE. After cleaning up including hosing the boat down outside in the rain I had a long shower and put my clothes in the work wear machines for two washes.

Five of us – the marine team (Matt and myself) the GOs (Kieron and Robert) and Sam the Dr emptied out the biosecurity inner room and after giving it a good clean started painting the floor. The paint is battleship gray and we all think it came from the military!

A sneak preview of my next woodwork project which is a surprise for someone at home. It has taken two full days so far and I think will take quite a few more as I decided to use wood dowels rather than screws to put it all together which is a bit more time consuming!

I have started a new series to bike to every evening at Carse. The collection is History of England and I have got to William the Conquer, Henry II, Richard the Lion Heart and John. It is a great way to stop from getting bored. Works out at about 25km per edition 🙂
