We've been in Dry Dock for a week
Slapped on
some paint, given prop a tweak
Repaired some bumps and bangs and knocks
And had a survey whilst in the docks
All below the gunnels done
Now
for the top - that should be fun!
Many thanks to all who turned up to help over the week, without your efforts we wouldn't have managed to complete all the tasks that needed completion in the time available - so thanks again.
. Over the next few weeks whilst Ethel isn't booked for trips, if you are free for a few hours on a Tuesday - 22nd & 29th April & 6th May, to do a bit a painting, your help would be appreciated. We need to get the cabin sides. Wheelhouse and roof all painted. Brush off will be at 10am.
We have now received the new brochure, and for those who receive this by post, a number are enclosed. Can you please distribute them in your local area, Libraries, Supermarkets, Community Centres, Nursing & Residential Homes, Doctors Surgeries and anywhere else you think may be interested. If you need more please give me a ring. For those who receive this by e-mail, there are some on the boat, but again if you like some posting please contact me. A big thank you to George for the work he has put in to produce such a high quality tool to advertise Ethel.
Contains all the trips we've got booked to date. Please have a look at the blank spaces for Crewing, and if you can help - please contact me. Thanks.
Repairs are now completed; it just wants painting and all the equipment fitting back on. Thanks to Martin for a good job.
Wednesday 21 May - 7.00p.m. aboard Ethel, at Thorne. Hope to see you there.
Well that's all for now - hope to see you all in the not too distant future.
Best wishes ------ Phil
