Nav light installation

Sunday 23 December, Frenchie and Sam rowed out to the boat with powertools galore to install the port and starboard coloured navigation lights. The wires from the lights were too exposed when mounted from the pullpit so we decided to mount them on the sides of the hull underneath the gunwales. Holes were drilled and the lights secured with a bolt and silicon.

The side safety wires were tightened after a mystery boat rammed the pullpit slackening them all off. The anchor was also moved down below as it is usually in the way and not used often enough to justify having it on deck. We topped up the petrol tank and removed all signs of the new and old name in preparation of renaming for the new year.
