Sitting here waiting for the sails to arrive so getting on with admin tasks
Finalised and sent off the whopping chandlery orders - try as I might there wasn't a lot of scope for making savings but I decided to postpone a few non-essential purchases and luxuries. Even so, the bill was still about £800.00 or so
Phoned up the nice people at the Crouch Harbour Authority and paid this years dues over the phone (saves putting a cheque in the post). All I have to do now is remember to affix the plaque to the boat (not like last year then!)
Talking of cheques in the post, finally got around to putting a stamp on the envelope and sending off the moorings renewal. The money is not actually due until the end of the month and the cheques are post-dated but the renewal application should have gone off several weeks ago!
And finally, bespoke the office at the marina and arranged to have Brigantia craned back in the water a week on Friday
Oh and yesterday the Bosun and I raided the local B&Q warehouse for some plywood and various paint rollers and such like. I still need a further raid on Wickes before the weekend for sanding supplies etc. (much cheaper as they do bulk trade packs)
Just hope the sunshine sticks around and the weather warms up a bit!
