From 202 days to just 2....the excitement builds.......

This weekend brought the first spring like weather that has been long overdue.
At last, the garden comes to life, the chairs go out onto the porch, and the marina starts to spring to life!

We took advantage of the weather to go and see Olli  up at the dealership in Barry, prior to her mid week delivery.

Along for the ride came my Brother in Law, Andy, who knows a thing or two about boats. He used to build them......from scratch. 50, 60 and 70 foot dutch Barges with all of the toys for modern boating. Just the person to go over Olli for me to cast his expert eye over the engine room and all of the other systems on board.

I'm happy to say that she got a clean bill of health. Nice to have that second opinion and an unbiased view of her.

So she is serviced and ready to go.........they were polishing the hull as we left ready for transport and the upcoming season.

The boat decal is being made as we speak, by a superb group of guys from Speedpro imaging of London, (www.speedprolondon.com). They are doing a two layer decal in black and chrome which will look really sharp.

Bring on Wednesday, and the rest of the season. May the weather Gods smile down on us for the coming summer!
