It's that time of year again

We took the cover off Swansong on Sunday. We wanted the rain to wet the wood again before we put her back in the water. She's been laid up for over 18 months now as we didn't sail her last year and has dried out under her cover.
One slightly annoying thing was that we found someone had taken the bronze nut on top of the tiller. It had been made especially for the job so would not fit anyone elses boat. I remember going to a lecture back in the day. The lecturer told us that 3% of people are bad. I wish they didn't visit boatyards!
She did look lovely in the sunshine today
