    As I said to Kerry over a glass of wine a couple nights back, in 4 months our lives are going to change. So Annie, anything is possible.

    Seems like you've really made progress over the past twelvemonth, Gary.  And the end is in sight.  Good for you.  We'll see you over here, yet!

    Upholstery next I guess while I wait for the rain to go away and I can pour my ballast.

    Gary, she's looking good. Not long now :-)

    Hi Paul, yes it's close. I spent the day vacuuming dust and sawdust out of the bilge and wiping down lockers and surfaces. Apart from upholstery all the internal stuff is more wiring and attaching bits. On Wednesday I'm off in search of timber for my Yard.

    Its worth it!
    re: safety gear, its the compulsory EPIRB that gets you. #$@% nanny state!
    In WA I have to get a skippers ticket too, if the outboard is more than 6hp.

    Today I chased up the hourly rates for a truck to get the boat to the river bank and a crane to float it, Probably around $700-$800. Tonight I started looking at the legal costs of floating a boat. That's registration etc and that is another $500 or so. Then there's the cost of a mooring, $800-$1500.. After that there is the safety gear I HAVE to have before I can go more than 2 NM offshore. I think I need to win Lotto...but that means spending money on a ticket!
    Well I knew it wasn't going to be cheap...sigh.

    Gary I had completely forgotten about them and thank you for reminding me. Too many lists I guess. Denman Marine in Tassy is apparently the rep for them here and I have emailed for some prices.

    I have ordered  a double and a triple Barton block today for a 5 part halyard. These are the 15220 at $65.00 and the 15320 at $76 including GST.
