Lots to do and no time left. We are booked to go in the water next week on Thursday. We get stuck in to cleaning the boat and polish the metal bits that we got in the air from other boats.

With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics. We then have a bit of a blow when we get the cost for the CE marking for the boat.
