Water Hose's

We are here in Lymington banging our heads against the very strong steel of the Sea Dragon again. This time aiming at changing all the hoses in the bilge that keep the boat going and afloat. These are the saltwater intake and the fresh water plumbing. Needless to say we are getting whipped by some very scuzzy hose's. We had some wonderful help over the weekend courtesy of father and son Longden as well as Blythe's tireless school mate Hugh. Blythe and Hugh will be our 13 year old crew and liaisons to foreign school children. Their English heritage has both boys well primed and ready for high sea adventure (after a possible bought or two with sea sickness). We are here plugging away, literally, for another week (Ron) and two weeks (Portia). We are very encouraged by our future crew and excited to start the trip in just under 2 months!! We just hope the windless and refrigeration get here in time.......
