Making a start

Post by Silkie »

Going up to the boat tomorrow for the first time since before Christmas to make a start on the job list.

Bit worried about what I might find and about the length of said list. How do people cope with bigger boats - or is the length of the list the same but the jobs just cost more/take longer?

I tend to give mine a damn good dehumidifying first. Seems more civilized when its not so damp.

Other than that I find leaving everything to the last minute makes all those little jobs happen quicker. And you have no alternative but to leave some of them to the boatyard.
Does this qualify for Tip of the Week? (Sort of describes my boat at this stage...)

We may well venture the few yards to the yard at the weekend if only to supervise the jobs on Silkie!
