Roped In

This week, the first task was to ensure that our boat remains secure and stable, especially when the team are working on her. We propped the stern carefully to minimise any movement before we started cleaning up inside. Meanwhile, all of the ropes received a good clean. Ropes are never called ropes on boats because each has a particular job to do and gets a name associated with that role (such as warp, sheet or halyard). However, when they are all off the boat and getting a bath, they do look remarkably like ropes!

The painstaking job of cleaning out all of the flaked paint we removed last time was begun. A BIG thank you to Paul, Eleanor, Rory for their excellent work on 'Jackaroo' today, plus everyone else who got 'roped in'.
