getting close to winterisation time

Not a lot of boating activity since I have had to return to work

Had a couple of trips to Willington and done some routine maintenance to the paintwork - rusty hand rails rubbed down, rust treated and painted.

I have had some cheap name stickers made for the boat with no name (£2.99 off ebay),  not too bad looking (a bit small, but my daughter, a graphic design student, approves of the font) and not sure if they will last the winter - perhaps I should varnish over the top.

The weather is now getting cold and damp and I will remove all electrical items, paperwork, etc from the boat and drain down the water tank and boiler soon.
