Went down to the club at high water but Tam already had his barge in position. He has a hydraulic winch and drum on his crane which he aims to use for the load test, seems like a good plan to me, I hope that John and Ken agree. Hoping that the load test will go ahead tomororw around low water at 8.00-8.30 ish. I do hope it's satisfactory as at the moment we have no costed or guaranteed fallback position and the alternatives would appear to be quite expensive.
Kevin rings to say that the keener sailors want to keep going with the winter series regardless; start to think about implications. Safety team are happy, but I'll need to secure the access to the veranda, probably still need a fire escape though so do some measurements to see if we can lash a section of railing across the south part of the veranda to keep the fire escape functional without anyone falling into the river. I gather that Woodbridge Cruising Club aren't keen on us using their changing rooms so it'll mean changing in the dinghy park or club room while the veranda is in pieces. Altogether I'm somewhat surprised that there's much demand under the circumstances.
