JUST GET IT GOING AND QUICKLY
We are at TYPHOON sorting out the dry suit where i damaged it this should hopefully make my life a bit more pleasant as at the moment i am arriving in every day with my feet numb from the cold, it is taking a hour for them to come back to life.
Nigel has taken the suit and John the film man and hopefully he is testing both the suit and John in the tank as John said he needed some action shots.
Typhoon has kindly given us two more jackets so we can get underway with dry feet.
The next thing to get sorted today is the van, we have a cracked exhaust manifold and if we go any further with this we will end up with a engine bay fire! The plan is that Rob and Craig are on their way to Milton Keynes Mercedes main depot to collect the manifold and parts that they charge a extra £35.00 for the privilege of us collecting them what a great system!
QUALITY PARTS
Rob And Craig arrived just in time as we had just finished removing the broken parts, so it was over to you boys, possibly, but i still got the laying down job with them dropping spanners on me, in between all this we were having lessons on how to build a boat the traditional way, my DAD would love this, steaming wood and then giving yourself 30 seconds to get it positioned and bent.
BOAT BUILDING WHITBY STYLE
Van now finished all the boys washed and changed they are all of for a Curry and i am sat with guess what G would know yes a bottle of red and writing and uploading the news.
Tomorrow is for the weather conditions a long one to Lowestoft Mike is contacting the yacht club and hopefully they can accommodate us for the evening with some facilities and a mooring, it’s a early start hoping to be on the water by 0745 so it’s a 0545 get up to get ready so best make it only one bottle of red tonight.
Will give you a new update tomorrow on our progress.
