      Yes, the Covid got me, it actually wasn't that bad compared to what I have heard from other people, maybe I was just lucky.
      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Thanks Andrew, no it wasn't too bad really.

                I bought the motors, drive shafts and rudders in May
                Here, the motors and shafts are installed, after I had epoxy coated the inside of the hull. Photo 3 August.

                      Have seen her in the flesh when she moored in Red Bay to do some running repairs after getting caught in a storm in the Atlantic.
                      They sent a shore party to get the papers and I had a nice chat with the cox of one of the RIBs who had been left to keep guard of them. He wasn't too happy when I pointed out the lack of Iranians probably meant they were safe......

                        I am sure he wouldn't have been amused :smiling:

                            I have to agree they do look good don't they, and it will be interesting to see how they perform.
