I suppose it was a little unfortunate that the licence had expired just before we got the boat, but the former owner was so good to us in many other ways that we really can't complain.
And I'll be able to display the two parts in the windows on our return to the boat this weekend, when other small jobs will include the swapping over of the batteries; the measuring up of the side hatch for a piece of perspex; the construction of a step to stand on in the hatch; the seeing about extending the tiller arm; the screwing in of a few more hooks...

Thats sounds like the start of a "to do" list that will never end.
Hi Halfie,
I'd recommend not using Perspex, it has a habit of splitting and shattering, and it can soon craze with age. Use clear Polycarbonate instead. It's far more durable and resistant to all of the above. Never use meths or petro-chemicals to clean it, best to use soapy water.
All the best,
Kevin

Kevin, thanks. I confess I hadn't realised there was a difference.
Andy, my to-do lists never end. Jan makes sure of that!
Will there be any time for boating?
Ian and Karen, in a way, I won't really mind too much if we don't actually go anywhere (although I think we probably will). Just being on board, making the boat truly ours, will be rewarding in itself.
