"Three metres will be more than enough for the job." said Glenn. I had my doubts.
On Saturday Dave willingly (!!!) lent a hand installing insulation around the engine room/space of Crazy Lady. It's a tight dark smelly space. The silver jigsaw in the photo shows the very last scraps of the awkward stuff being "patchworked" to fit onto the last door. I can't believe Glenn was so close to being right this time. Dave and Gerti: a big thankyou, you helped make yet another THANKLESS BOAT JOB into a delightful day.

Crazy's new stairs were installed on Friday. It's a shame that the photo is so poor. We no longer have to impersonate spiderman climbing down into and out of the cabin. Glenn dismantled the bulky unsafe steps without realizing how incredibly practical they were. Luckily our good friend Winni (James Patterson) had the skills to create a new set of steps that is so well crafted that it blends in with the established style of the interior. There's even a good luck messages signed under the top step. It was a wonderful day for me, watching him work with such precision.

Many of our neighbours are taking the chance to say farewell now.
This week I'll begin to load onboard every possible thing that we might need. The hardest part will be finding logical places to stow things and creating the master list of WHERE TO FIND IT. I've counted 84 different hiding spaces already. I should be really muddled by the time Glenn returns from his last day at work on Friday.
Bye for now
Jen
