Laid up ashore


What a winter we have had, but it has given me a chance to look at Celtic Spirit and tweak with all her insides!, the electrics have been the main attention for me with new domestic AGM batteries and a new 40A charger duly fitted, some Heath Robinson wiring rectified and the battery meter now in a place you can see it, a new stern gland fitted and Andy with grease gun in hand has overhauled the Kiwi prop also fitted is a Nature pure water purifier for some decent drinking water, all the seat covers have been removed and washed as well, and while I have been hard at work the Yard has been fitting the bow thruster and grey water tank, polishing the top sides filling the rudder and giving her a coat of antifouling, so she was launched on the 8th March and moved back to Swanwick on the 13th now on X22 some way from the showers but its ok for now.
