In the barn

Our countdown timer that has been counting since the new year has now run its course. Although we are now working full time aboard, there is still plenty to do before Quickstep emerges from the barn ready for launch day. The summer hasn't reached Orkney yet and so we are not overly upset that our departure date is still a while away.
With the distance involved and the length of the trip, we have decided to replace the Tohatsu with two high thrust Yamahas. Fingers crossed the set up works! If all works as we plan, we will have three engines each capable of moving the rib.

We also have a week of non boat related work before we leave for Norway that has to be completed. Our new departure aim is before the 9th of July... See how things go!
