Air intake ducts for the engine room.Will guide fresh air from the dorades on deck,insdie the aft heads and then into the rear of the engine room.Next job is to fit them!

View of the bunk matress set up in the aft cabin - Maple sprung slats,a layer of foam AND 2" of memory foam on top ......pure decadence!!
Motor cage location.
Well, at last I have been able to get the new rolled plate welded into place.Next step is to drill the holes for the bow thruster (again!).

The Bowthruster guys have at last sent us the correct bowthruster leg and after the third attempt - the correct props !

So we have had to cut out a piece of the tunnel with the old , larger, wrong size holes and replace with a new piece of rolled 10mm steel plate.

This has yet to be welded in place - then the new holes drilled for the correct leg!!

Onwards..... and upwards !!!!
Well - not a lot has happened - we are still awaiting the arrival of the new portacabin for our workshop ! Not so much the cabin - but the access road !

Also the new taps (faucets to all you yanks!!LOL!!) in the galley. Hot and cold running water - woohoo!!

Just a little progress while I'm on my own - new shower mixer and tray - and all the relevent plumbing you can't see!! Works real well.

The facia for the heating radiators in the saloon being drilled and cut by James (Canada),behind these will be small computer type fans to give a gentle flow of hot air and dissipate the heat more efficiently.Covering the vents will be brass expanded grills.



Now ..... the carcassing of the saloon seating is almost finished ! It has taken a long time due to the complexities of the curves involved,strength maintained and a compartment for the freezer unit.
