The crew spend their days in continual cycles of mixing epoxy, painting epoxy and waiting for epoxy to dry. They say you learn more from failure than success. If you have an opinion we would love to hear it.

We had an old can of Interlux that had a rusted top so we used it for this project that required protection but not perfection. As it turned out the paint was fine and looks great, though no one will see...

In the last episode we hauled Esper out at PSS Shipyard in Satun in order to start fixing the repairs from the accident. We had two weeks in which to get everything done before the next spring tide. Half way through the journey Liz has to visit the UK and so we leave Jamie on his own (con't bel...
