Well its raining (again), glad we arrived home when we did, talking to others at the Marina it seems we were lucky with the weather.
The rudder came out without much trouble and has been straightened and shipped back in its hole - three man job to lift and guide it back in to place, all done whilst leaning over the stern. Very exciting.
Today I've changed the bearing it runs in, and started to repaint the 'swan neck' or steering arm, too hot believe it or not when I was there, but now chucking it down!
For those of you with Google Earth access, this file shows where we went. If it tries to run a tour do not be alarmed, the dates are wrong at the start and I've failed to correct them for some reason, we really started mid May not April.
