All tucked up for the winter in the south of France. Added an extra bit of tarp over the foredeck to try and keep the water out as front hatch is a bit leaky. Should’ve fitted an electric bilge pump but didn’t so will probably have to go back a couple of times in the next 4 months to pump the bilges. Have booked a haul out for the end of March so I can scrub and anti foul, also have a few other jobs to do: paint deck, strip and repaint toe-rail, replace outboard bracket as it has a crack in it, get bushings made for the wobbly rudder pintles, possibly re-varnish mast. Lots to do but hopefully will manage a month or so in the summer sailing to lovely anchorages so should be worth it! Then possibly through the canal du midi in September but that might not happen til 2026…
