What a glorious day it’s been, some warm sunshine, clear skies and almost no wind, a real treat after the drab, cloudy, wet winter we have experienced this year. With almost no clear frosty weather to break the monotony we were ready for some spring-like weather. The marina has started to come to life, there are people around, everyone is stopping to chat and there are boats moving, which is good to see.

I’ve spent some of the day planning my change of flooring, I’ve decided to replace the rather worn carpet and lino. I’ve bought engineered wood flooring, essentially wood veneer, giving the benefits of real wood but also, an important factor on a boat, a good tolerance to changes in humidity. This is achieved by having the grain of the base layer at 90 degrees to the grain of the top layer, giving better stability. Or so all my research tells me, I hope it is correct. It will probably be next weekend before I start to fit the flooring, I’ll update on progress then.

In the meantime here is this evening’s sunset;
