Today was spent doing the rounds of the suppliers for the new build and other jobs

Today the main job of the day was to go to the company's suppliers for different items, such as tables and chairs and notice boards for the Essex Country Show. Going to one timber merchant for wood for the stem of one boat and then off to another timber man to get the local timber for the new dinghy and some oak and larch for another boat. Then off to another suppler to get some leather for a newly restored pair of oars and the leather for a restored bowsprit. So it was a long day on the road getting the items together ready for the next stage of the yards' work load.

Then in the morning it is back to the workshop to build some cupboards to put items in for the Essex Country Show and other shows we will be attending over the next few months.
