Watching the guys, at Darthaven Marina, lifting and manoeuvring 10 tons of boat is always a joy to watch. They carefully positioned Jomima, as requested, on the key side with the stern of the boat facing Dartmouth, which is across the river from where we were in Kingswear. This will enable us (if the weather improves) to sit at the table near the helm and admire the view. If you could buy a flat here I am sure that it would cost you nearly £1m. Sadly, most of our time will be spent working hard on painting (anti-fouling) the bottom of the boat and polishing the top sides of her. I also had to swap the anodes (it would take me too long to explain what they are here), polish the propellers and rudders and generally get her ready for the new season. Not much chance to admire the view then. Fortunately, the weather did improve and we were able to get her finished by the 9th April.
