Yesterday afternoon saw some frantic activity around Ciao Bella. I was home by 3pm and high tide was going to be just after 6pm. No time to lose, I fitted the new antenna and got the other paraphernalia ready and hot footed it down to Baiter park. With some help from John the mast went up without a hitch, Julian also showed up to help shunt cars and trailer around. So, cold, wet and tired I left Ciao Bella nestled on her new mooring, while I paddled back to the club in the Coracle.
It's all a bit of a mess on board and the mast is not straight but she's in.
I need to get out again to adjust the rigging, fit the boom, bend on the sails and have a general tidy up before I can go for the first sail... but I can't wait.
Me too!! Managed to get out Tuesday evening in the sunshine to tighten up rigging put boom on and attach sails.. couple more jobs to do and I'll be ready...
