Small leak fix grows into let's do everything

Small leak fix grows into let's do everything

This weekend we arrived determined to tackle the leaks in the port side deck that we found in the storms around the new year.

We have holes from old deck cleats that we removed when fitting the chainplate backing plates. We hadn't got around to properly filling them.

Port side deck showing 8 holes where we removed cleats. The stanchion bolt holes have been filled with Epoxy.

As we started clearing stuff and thought about protecting the galley from dust we decided that we might as well do things properly.

So we have cleared the navigation table (which will come out later) and are moving the galley to it.

I've also emptied the cockpit locker.

So we are going to remove the genoa track (it leaks), we can then fix all the leaks in one go.

Then before moving everything back we will finish the galley. That means switch to a gimbled "box" for the microwave and hob. Also properly fit the new forward bulkhead for the galley. And much more.
