SONFLOWER is looking in real trim for cruising again.
We have been shuttling between dry dock and wet dock this Spring. Since March she has been surveyed, blacked, re-fendered, and had her gunwales treated to a nice matt black finish.
While she was not being worked on over the late May bank holiday weekend we managed a short outing overnight to Cropredy and back. Here she is (with the gunwales half painted.)
There we had tea with a friend and at a meal with her on board. Sovereign Wharf's wet dock is only 45 ft long so Sonflower needed to be turned round to paint the gunwales at each end.
She was finished early in the day on Thursday and this gave an opportunity to take two grandchildren for a short ride to the turning point and back.
Then, on Friday we came out of dock looking all spruced up. She was wiped down and Pumped Out.
Now back on home mooring. 9.1/2 miles, 6 locks appprox 7 hours
