We had started to forget we owned a boat, but since we have only been parted company for the last 2 weeks which in practice feels like an eternity, we decided to have a run to Hull in the car to check on Moonshine's progress.
She is coming along nicely, with most of the fibre glass work completed. The winch has been partially fitted, however the fitters are unsure at the moment as to whether the existing cabling is up to the job as the new winch has 200w more power. A new bow roller has been fabricated ready for fitting (the fitters had ordered a replacement Lewmar bow roller but considered it far too flimsy, hence the new fabrication which looks fantastic!), and the new Lewmar anchor is ready and waiting on the workshop floor to be fitted. Moonshine's names on her bow are being removed to accommodate her new names port and starboard to replace her damaged ones.
We are hoping she is ready to be relaunched by the end of this week for a week away during the half term holidays, however this may be scuppered if the repairs over run or we need to approach our insurance company due to any additional costs....fingers crossed....
