bonding with the boat!

Just spent most of last week bonding with the boat. Both Elin and I thought we would annoy Richard in Dolpin Quays, he's the man building our lovely boat for a few days.
The first day I was greeted with Elin sprawled out on deck, but she was working not sunbathing, she was screwing in the sliding rails, so if I go flying off my seat in the middle of the Atlantic I know who to blame!!!
We also went on a shopping spree, no girls not for a pair of JIMMY CHOO shoes unfortunately, I was dragged to Homebase. We got our tool box and all the bits to go into it, lots of spanners and other metal objects. We also got our cooker, it was cool trying it out, however doing the maths in the middle of the shop about how much gas one requires for a certain period of time was not so cool.Lots of other goodies were bought too. I think Richard was impressed with our shopping, not a girlie purchase in sight!
We also went to sort the most important area in our boat out, the sleeping quarters, we decided on fabrics and eventually the colour, not that Elin and I seemed to have any choice in the matter, for every colour we chose there was a reason not to choose it, we gave up and went for a yellow, all (in the shop!) agreed.
We stuck loads of sticky labels around the boat to mark where everything will go, its coming on really well. We also had a serious conversation about the very important toileting facilities on the boat, well lack of. We have decided a bedpan placed at the stern will work best, that was Elin's idea, we reckon it will work a treat and if it doesn't, no doubt we'll be in touch and fill you in on the details!!!
