Alanne Afloat - Day 229

Well here we are, almost another week has flashed past.  Some progress has been made on "Alanne", the Bubble diesel stove has been replaced, but needed a fuel pump fitting before it worked correctly. The fire now burns with a clean blue flame and has a good heat output, (I had to open windows and doors when the stove was working, it was so hot). Thanks Garry for a good job.
Johnny arrived this afternoon with the "magic corner" for the galley and had it fitted and operational in less than 2 hours.  It was the first one he had installed so it was a steep learning curve for both of us, but he has made a fine job of installing it.  Again thank you Johnny.
Anne and I intend to get underway on Saturday 27th September and start our first cruise.  The outstanding work will have to be completed hopefully tomorrow (Friday 26th September). I am not convinced that this will happen but I live in hope. Everything is crossed in anticipation.

                            New fully functional, diesel fired "Bubble Stove"

                 External chimney replaced and looks 100% better than the original fitting.

    Repainted  roof looks great ---- it is now an even colour all over

   Replacement tap now sends the water into the centre of the bowl

  "Magic Corner" swings shelves out of cupboard for easy access.
