Morning Bernie was wondering if you ever sleep, are you heading to Greens Lake while you are down there. Stopped for a night on the way to Adelaide at Christmas. Take care on the road.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Dot, the company that quoted is paying me to do the repairs and they are progressing.The 5 sliding panels (which were MDF and swollen) have been manufactured using marine ply and painted. Finding sheets of 6mm marine ply that weren't bowed was quite a task. The tracks that they run in had to be removed and replaced with new ones prior to fitting the panels. The damaged underbunks storage divider (MDF) has been replaced with solid timber. The next step is the removal of damaged cork tiles and their replacement with new ones which took some tracking down as the originals went out of production 5 years ago ( they have chamfered edges, have one coat of polyurethane with underside coated with contact adhesive).

Took the clothes we took out after last trip back in (but cleaner)
Sounds like you are well on the way to having it all done soon George.
Bruce that boat of yours is so big I reckon you must have a tap with a knackered washer that is leaking up on the top deck. Seek and you shall find
