Now that the rain as stopped we can get on with of the outside jobs that have not been able to get on with

Now that the rain as stopped or at least that's what the forecast says. We may well be area to get on with some of the other jobs we have not been able to do for one reason or another.

The first of these jobs is to refit the pulpit and pushpit on the Morgan Giles 30 and then be able to fit the guard wire all the way round the boat and be able to work on deck safely.

The original holes are bit misaligned and will have to be  repositioned a little and the old holes filled.

Back in the engine bay the pipe for the inlet will have to be cut shorter and be double hose clipped and then the area round the stern tube will have to be cut back a small amount to let the new inside fitting to go back to the correct position.

We will have to make a small platform to fit the water lock for the engine exhaust system to sit on and the run th new exhaust pipe from there to the lazarette locker and the swam neck fitting in the locker before it goes out through the transom exhaust fitting.

Then we can get on with sanding the bottom patch for the gelshield coating to go on to finish off the epoxy protection on the underside of the hull.
