    Keel bolt leaks are fixed, at least till I can haul out and do it properly. Drilled a hole at an angle down along side the bolt and using a grease gun I pumped butyl mastic down and then plugged the hole with a ss screw. A few minor leaks to tackle but she's almost a dry boat. Also worked out why my depth sounder wasn't working, the wires had pulled out of a joiner when I was zip tying the wiring loom.

    I'v given up on the avatar thing. Changed it from the boat to the dinghy at Rottnest ages ago. Didn't show up, then changed browser to Safari and it worked. But now safari has gone back to the boat. Chrome still shows the boat. Clearing cache doesnt work either. I think Wild Apricot is deciding what my avatar should be..

    She does look lovely Annie, I'm really very pleased with my choice of colours.

    Is this a "refresh" problem?

    My goodness, that is a page bookmarked!

    Another gem from JRA forum. 
    Thanks Roy.
