Software Update
June 8th, 2008 Posted in GeneralI’ve delayed adding new content to the site recently as I was putting off updating the software, until now. I’m pleased to say the new version is up and running which should do me for a while.
I have done a fair bit of boating recently, although only local. A couple of weeks ago it was the FBCC Rally at Astley near Leigh on the Bridgewater, we’ve also took a trip up to Worsley and also been up to Grappenhall last weekend as well as potting around near the Dunham/Lymm area.
Earlier on today I spoke to Tim and have booked a day or so to get the boat out of the water at his dock in Dutton. The tiller bearing was recently replaced but now there are other problems which appear to be coming from lower down towards the skeg. Tim has agreed to doing the work for us, which involves removing the rudder, grinding off the old cup, making a replacement and then building the welds up around it to secure it to the skeg, and afterwards of course replacing the rudder. It should take no more than a couple of hours to do and cost wise seemed quite reasonable. We’ll be shifting the boat up that way on the 5th and 6th of July, ready for it to come out the following morning.
