19th May
| Cleaned Seafly hull!
I was going to go sailing but was worried that it would turn out calm with heavy showers (it didn't). Took advantage of a neap tide to clean the Seafly's hull before breakfast! There was some thick green growth where the starboard side gets the light, otherwise just mud!

Netley Dome (Southampton Sailing Week)
[diary entry]

27th May
| Parade of Sail
As part of Southampton Sailing Week there was supposed to be a "Parade of Sail" from the River Itchen along Southampton Water to the Hamble. I watched from Weston Shore, but hardly anyone took part! The weather was poor too. [some photos]

29th May
| Boom gallows description:
A new BC20 owner asked me for some photos of the boom gallows in order to get one fitted to his yacht. In case others would find them useful here is what I sent.

31st May |
Cowes and the River Medina
[diary entry]
|
April started with rebuilding the ktchen sink, or at least the cupboard under it, following last months flood. However I finally got out sailing on the 11th of the month. The rest of April was cool and uninviting so my sailing season only really started in May.
