Having had a short break, now ready to stream ahead with the projects at hand.

With a number of projects underway at the moment, it is a matter of putting them in order and getting the boat sorted out quickly and so the next project is not held up. Also it is coming round to the next round of taking on a new apprentice to teach them the skill of the trade. So it is going to be busy over the next coming months as new work and people come in to the business. Some may work out and others may not. However, life is not without challenges and we at J-Star Boat Services enjoy the challenges and the road ahead wherever it may lead.
