Assembled and launched boat today.

Long, sunny day. Relaxing after much needed shower now.

Rigging some other day. Monday hopefully.

Today I replaced the manky mooring lines.  Went mental and used 16mm.  Thimbles one end, eye splice the other.  Very chi-chi.

Now I smell like duck sh*t and I have cramp in my fingers.

That Genie partially under boat looks broke. Hard to tell, but did you duck for them or bear right away? Fantastic shot!
