A couple of weeks ago Scott tried to put some paint on the outside of the wheelhouse but it was still too cold and the paint went all gloopy. A few sunny days later and lots of work has gone on, paint can, at the moment, be painted - pics will be posted soon!
Scott has told Saff he won't take her out in the dingy unless she can swim a length so Saff's challenge at the moment is to learn to swim without armbands. Although she was scared when we went swimming on Wednesday she eventually took the bull by the horns and tried to swim. What she's actually realised now is she can keep herself above water, if only for a few strokes at the moment!
Saff is also working on getting on and off the ladder by herself. She almost gave me heart failure earlier today when she went to leave the boat with no assistance. Scott stands there arms outstetched ready to grab her, but he wasn't ready earlier today when she was off.
Thanks this time must go to Tony for the fishing reels - just waiting for a rod and some hooks now! And Sue for taking Saff off our hands for a few hours today (sorry yesterday!). Saff had a great time and was spoiled rotten by sounds of it.
More thanks must go to Graham for his valiant efforts in the Concle (Sat night), whilst its not our place to thank him for keeping the Concle going he certainly provide Scott with entertainment for the evening!
