Electrical panel, outboards and hull repair

Lifting the generator back into the boot of my car, Tim remarked that he thought I was getting fitter. The truth is that Friday was the first day I had begun to feel well after bronchitis and noro virus over the Christmas holiday!

Anyway the weekend has been efficient in what we have achieved for King Malu: One of the tasks is to repair/replace the electrical panel and controls around the chart table. So we have been building new wood panels which are now glued in place and will be filled and then varnished hopefully this week.

We also put in the order to Andreou Laser for the laser cut panel, which hopefully should be ready Monday or Tuesday.

The electrical panel itself was made about a year ago and we have been waiting to fit it. This was not laser cut but CNC machined so it's better text than the laser panel, but takes a long while to do in the UK. We need to find a CNC machining place in Cyprus!

Saturday afternoon we went over to Mike's place to watch Mike and Paul servicing the two outboards. The Honda 20HP was easy, but the Yamaha 2HP we use for the dinghy took longer and we found we needed some extra parts for repair.

Final task of the weekend was to fill the rudder and hull holes we had ground out looking for osmosis with Epidermix Epoxy.

All in all a productive weekend.
