Happy Birthday Me!

OK where are we?...

Well with Kat & Daves help, I (we) have finished the following:

DONE
Emptied the boat of all my stuff.
Cleaned the ForePeak & Heads.
Derigged Sails and StackPack.
Removed and Scrubbed the Sprayhood.
Acid Treated the teak - its like new!
Soapy washed the topsides.
Polished all the Stainless.

TO DO
Polish the topsides & Hull
Prepare and AntiFoul the Bottom.
Clean the Saloon and Rear Berth.

Kat has now left and Dave has returned to Brighton until tomorrow (weather permitting).
I spent ththis afternoon finishing the stainless and after completing the last bit, turned around to find huge red splodges of bright red bird crap! Hamble has a starling problem - perfect!


Its a bit weird being in Hamble Point Marina living 'on the hard'. Tomorrow is going to be even weirder as its my (Single Handed) 39th birthday. Another day older & wiser ...

OK well older anyway!

happy b'day jack sparrow!
hope your eye's recovering from the chemical splash.
is this an engineered excuse to start wearing an eye patch and have a bird on your shoulder by any chance?

Thanks guys... No, no excuse. Not really after a bird on my shoulder, Im older now and not as strong as I used to be!

Whats a bird on a shoulder worth anyways? Same as one in the hand or two in the bush?
