Well today Sundog was finally relaunched at Port Olympic after being out the water for a total of about 9/10 months.
Sebastian and his team were very careful and thoughtful about the new paint job and lined the lifting strops with protective material before lifting the boat and placing her back in the water. First press of the button and the Perkins kicked into life.
We were allowed to remain alongside the wall to allow me to carry out the two remaining jobs. One was a straightforward replacing of the fresh water filter. The other should have been easy enough, but ended up taking a bit of time to replace the manual bilge pump. I originally was only going to change one part of it, but decided to just fit a complete new one. Once these jobs were completed we had to go to a supermarket for a food shop.
All this was finally concluded by early afternoon, and we were both keen to get moving once again in Sundog.
