Wednesday me and Simon both had the day off and it had also been pay day the day before we were able to buy more paint for Sylmara. The last two weeks the weather has been ideal for painting so we had a good days weather to get the job done. I had to re do the water line on both sides and take it down slightly which I think works.
A lot of people always stop and talk to us when we are busy working on her ad it nice to hear good feedback on how she is looking. One lady even offered us £10,000 for her but we declined. We got Sylmara at such a bargain and we have both grown to love her and both very excited about our plans on her. At 26ft she is a bit of a squeeze , but she has character and she is ours. I think even if we upgrade in a few years we will still keep her. 
We also picked up a excellent book for 50 p called the Illustrated guide to Sailing by Peter Kemp which we both have already started reading and looks to be a valuable book to have on board!
