20th November 2009

The main beams that run out to the piles that support the access ramp are now in place after a bit of difficulty interpreting the drawings and a phone call to John Davis to clarify things. Then as it was a midday tide the access ramps themselves got loaded onto the lighter and moored on the river. It was intended to also load the joists but we ran out of water at Eversons. Eversons have been really good about storing our kit; we had hoped to have it all out of the way at the end of October so they'd have the yard back as a boat store but we've still got stuff in there 3 weeks later.

Tidied up a bit as it's the AGM tomorrow and I wanted to hold it in the Club so people could see progress made so far. Of course the Club is half full of timber and super size nuts and bolts so it won't be very convenient, however the pile of timber is about the right height for a seat so hopefully everyone will get in OK. If I'm lucky and 80 people turn up there definitely won't be enough room so that's probably what'll happen.
