Galley MK2

Decided to redo the galley as the first one using pine board from Homebase had already started to warp after only a few days. My neighbour very kindly gave me some waterproof board used in bathrooms. It's marine ply faced with plastic. Probably not heat resistant so will just have to be careful.

I've bought a used plastimo 50 ltr water container with associated pipe work and a caravan waste water container for a knock down price off Ebay which will be installed under the galley area. An amazingly high quality sink was included too so I have swapped the homemade one over. It even came with a foot operated whale pump which I may find a use for.  The vintage brass galley pump looks much smarter and is much more efficient at pumping water.

Still haven't glossed the topsides due to the awful wet summer we're having but will crack on with the cabin sole and the front engine cover. Joy has been concentrating on the deck, removing old flakig paint and feathering in the edges. It's all ready for masking off and repainting - weather permitting. Have decided to retain same colour which is a cream.

Did manage a short trip out with the engine. Just wish we had hoisted sail. Here's a few pics of Joy at the helm concentrating  on avoiding lobster pots
