After hauling out, we start the work on the mast, replacing the sewage systems and doing work on the keel. Gaynor also discovers her inner teacher and gives ...

we've got nice copper coat on the bottom
of salty laughs but whoever put this
copper coat on the peel
[Music]
look how far that really yeah paulus
boobs
not great
[Music]
I'm basically removing seal it's very
difficult to see but the selection of
pitting down here and there you can just
sort of see this just very small holes
and that's called pitting and basically
I'm going to have to grind that all out
so that there's paint we'll be able to
key on it correctly so this is my
current project and quite frankly it
does not really want to leave the boat
on the outside it's all grind quite
nicely and I'd hoped it would tap
through but no joy so what I've got to
do is work on it here on the inside the
yard says just keep topping it it'll
eventually work itself you so that's
what I don't guess I'll do but I've got
the hose off and if you look very
closely you can see that the the teal
the barb is shattered so this did need
replacing it's the worst three hole in
the boat by a long long way and of
course it's the one that all the poo cuz
I have so it's the worst three hole in
the boat by a long way in more ways than
one so after so hours of yelling
shouting cursing swearing and doing a
lot of other noisy things it's vented
frustration
I finally got another hole in the vote
and absolutely knackered so we're gonna
close the bird up for the night and I
believe you have some issues it's filthy
I know but we'll wash we'll wash it one
more time this is well you got the
millions new offshore jacket it's only
money you can take it with you we have
to do before stay down is to put this
into the furniture mechanism this is
seldom FedEx grace which is a special
grease designed for it is a rather blue
color so you know when you put it in
because you answer this is our further
which we're gonna get scrub off you see
it like this oh so I've put the grease
in here and you might just be able to
see some of the blue grease just just on
this section here so this is the
furlough that goes at the top of the
mast down the foil and I've also put it
inside the other section of the firm
dine here at the bottom which is not
even reassemble fine because you can
really see it on here is this section
here a little fun jobs is replacing the
a note which is doing today
and
[Music]
[Music]
so the old aerial TV aerials
this is remains my Windex which I've
just taken off the mast the actual
Windex itself which was on this
particular part here blew off in a storm
before we bought the boat so we've had
this dump up the mast for the last year
then I finally taking it off it's very
hard to get a replacement for this
particular thing same as what's gotten
banned you want this lump of silicon was
wrap around the nut inside a very whoops
was wrapped running the nut inside a
very tight fitting and it took a just to
get enough the previous owner had a love
affair with mastic it's everywhere in
the boat
they just keep taking it off well you
not playing with so our new Windex we've
got our new mass headlight which this is
a headlight and we knew it was for these
Palestine beans so this is the unit and
as you can see it has no bulbs and a
rather new traditional bulb what it has
around the edge is a series of LEDs
which are colored so there will be a red
sector a green sectors a white sector
and then the other ones underneath are
for the anchor light and they're all
white and until I don't think they're
light everything but this is what's
going on the masthead
in place of our current master of light
the other thing about this particular
mustard light is it has a very
interesting switch because basically
what happens okay well I'll try and do
some electronics right
it also comes as Gander says with this
switch
which has three positions sort of middle
the idea this switch is it's a polarity
reverser because the cable only has two
hours because these are all diodes that
currently works in one direction so by
reversing the current on one set of
diodes it will work and then when you
reverse the polarity if the direction is
set for the other set of diodes so it
will either be a tri radial light at
something mass or an anchor light
depending where I put this but I still
only need the existing two wire pairs
that come up the mast so I don't need
your saucer and what is very very useful
yep so I think that's very very nifty
idea that clever idea so this will be
installed down here in the cabin and we
just use the standard wiring which will
then yeah the only thing that has to be
done is currently our common goes to one
single wire now of course we're going to
have to have the common separate yes we
are because the power supply for the
steaming light the deck light and the
mouse headlight we're all on the same
common 12 volt line yeah common earth
line you know now we need a separate
earth line for this but it's no big deal
it's just an extra line that we just
simply run up there right bit table so
small jump but nothing this world yep
sounds like a phone to me right so these
are the instructions which have come
with it this is a light put at the top
of your mass and switcher alright well I
shouldn't be too hard
[Laughter]
[Music]
boy is it low yeah now itself in a
really good color okay so this is my
area and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
put my Roma in the middle
yay and I'm gonna go up and then I'm
gonna roll down to the bottom of my area
okay so that's my first lon
I then go back up again
I've just finished painting the keel and
I have to say she looks gorgeous but I
think of all the things I should have
invested in before I did the job was a
gardening mat because my knees have
really taken it in the neck well not
really because their knees but it's not
me but yes

We are back in the water now, finishing off those last jobs that always seem to crop up. 7 years ago
