The (Tuffle) Bird has flown

Tuffle was moved to the quay yesterday to have her crusty bottom grit blasted (see photos.)

Today I applied 5 coats of silver primer to all the below water-line metalwork (keel, rudder, bow protector and various other bits and pieces). Got home, filthy, needed a complete scub down.

Went shopping and on the way home Dee came aboard for her first look around. Slightly impressed I think (but not enough to commit to sailing with me).
