Sad to reportĀ the first appearance of Black Tape on Lily M - the webbing parted company with the spray hood
and there is the small matter of the hole in the floorboards
it is a simple job but I have no drill and no saw with me - and it is amazing how quickly you learn to avoid stepping in the hole
Drills and saws can be dangerous things on boats. A friend of mine drilled a small hole through a bulkhead in order to run a cable into the battery compartment. Unfortunately, he became confused with looking at things from forward and aft, got his port and starboard back to front and happily drilled through the bulkhead AND the battery on the other side. He was heard to make a few acid comments.
Thoroughly enjoying your travels Dylan, many thanks for the time and effort you put into creating this blog.
any boy scout worth his salt would mend that hole with a penknife and a bit of string
