I’ve got a week off this week and have been making the most of it. I have to really since it’s the last time I’ll get to spend working on the boat until the last week in August, when she should be going in the water!

The weather today has been absolutely cracking and I’ve had a really productive day. In fact, I’ve had a really productive three days after ariving at the old parents’ on Saturday night.

I’ve posted a few pics below to highlight what I’ve been doing, but I do plan on going into each of the tasks in a bit more detail in separate posts.

We have power! I’ve installed the power inlet and shore power distribution box, as well as a socket. The box is located under the sink, which is in the companion way steps, and the socket is in the side of the steps. I’ve also rebuilt and painted all the woodwork in the galley which has finally gone back in. I’ve got a surprise up my sleeve to finish that off so watch this space

The power inlet is actually a 32 amp inlet, I’m never going to use that much, in fact most marinas are limited to 16amp, but I ordered the wrong one accidentally. Oops. Only £72!!!!! It does look nice though, don’t you think?

Finally, the rudder, that’s been a cause for concern for a while but I’ve finally got it (almost) finished.

So, there it is. Three days of working on the boat. I’m going to post detailed descriptions of all the jobs purely because they may be of interest to other Corribee owners, but for now, I’m happy with how it’s all looking. The fact that I’m going to be living on her still hasn’t fully sunk in, so I’m not too nervous at the moment :p
