A view of the starboard side. An exciting day today as I finally got the 'boot topping' or waterline painted. She starting to look quite smart now. The life belts are piled up on the bow ready to be taken away and cleaned. The lighting isn't great here on this picture from my phone.

A view of the back end from my phone. There is of course some lettering to go across the stern with the web site address www.theopenboat.co.uk

Here's a rather cluttered view on board Daffodil from my phone. Nearly all the painting is done now, with just the deck itself to paint. The life belts are piled up on the bow ready to be taken away and cleaned. Next week a full engine service.
