April

Imaginative title eh? The plumbing work is pretty much finished, I just need to connect up a few electrical items in order to test it fully. The bathroom floor needs putting down and a light installed, but its looking good.

We also had our first overseas visitors, friends Tobias and Camilla from Denmark stopped by for the afternoon. I think they were surprised at the size of Misterton, the pictures on the website don't really give the scale. It was good to see them and fitting that for a ship whose design can be traced back to the Vikings, they also have that connection.

Mary and I took Misterton on our first trip last friday with just the two of us. Frankly it had gone a lot better in my mind before the event, but we learnt a few things and no damage was done, apart from to several trees lining the riverbank. John Tims from the boatyard next door came over as we were mooring and showed us a better technique to try. I think we'll be learning more from him. I'm looking forward to our next trip anyway.
