I took a short trip into Downham Market after work to get a rear registration plate for the Vivaro as I had a tow bar fitted yesterday and now need the plate for the boat trailer and anything else that I tow. I must remember to grease the tow ball before using it. It is all bright and shiny at the moment.

Here is the result. It’s not quite level but it will do until Naiad is on the mooring and I can adjust it to the correct height and level.

The support ropes are just held in place with large staples.

Here’s a closer look.

I declare the new cockpit cover a success. It has been raining all day and I’m sitting in the cockpit having put on the plastic cockpit tent and then removed the cover which is now hanging inside the workshop drying a bit. The bilges were completely dry despite the rain although the spars and ropes are dripping into the cockpit as they were not out of the rain until the tent went on.

So, another good day.
