This blog is the random accounts of a much loved and used Macwester Rowan on the East Coast of the UK from the perspective of Chantilly, the boat. Veneer and Varnish would also have been a suitable title for this 'account' of my life as a small boat living on the East Coast.

End of the Engine Project
We went sailing today, the engine alignment wasn't brilliant but it seemed good enough for my owner. Anyway, great to get some air in my sails and visit the seals in Yorksfleet creek. I enjoyed the cleaning as far as it went, if he finishes the rest of it I'll feel great. The engine seems OK, a lot less vibration than my old concrete mixer.

Spot of Luck update
Well, he made it back from the Med. It was, by all accounts, quite an adventure. If you want to know more sign up to 'small boat club', http://smallboatclub.proboards.com and look for the longest thread in its history + 'voyage of a lifetime' thread.
Anyway, I am back in the water, my stern gland is slowly dripping and for once I hope I see my owner before the water reaches my new engine. Hopefully he'll be back this weekend. It almost sounds like I miss him.
