It's a quiet time for FarrOut as she sits on her cradle sheltered from the gales that are around. Over the past few weeks there has been some tinkering and gradually it is all coming together ready for launch day on 3rd April.
Steve and I have just spent the weekend on an ISAF/RYA sea survival course jumping in and out of liferafts in fully oilies. I'm pleased to say that the "visitors" lifejackets that we used both inflated perfectly with their 2003 vintage gas bottles. They will now be serviced ready for the new season. It was a good course run by Poole Harbour Sea Survival and you always learn a bit more even though it's my second time of doing it.
It's regrettable that the team seems to have broken up with Stu away to Australia with work and Dave deciding to try some other boats to see if he can find some more and different shouting. Still, a new season with new opportunities we'll see how it develops.
