400 euro abandoned boat project the mast goes back up | S5 E17

It's been a full two weeks but not much filming. I took by RYA Sea Survival course which is the last course I needed to apply for my commercial endorsement on by Yachtmaster Offshore. So now I have Yachtmaster Offshore commercial endorsement on both Power and Sail!

For giggles I took the Powerboat II course as well.

My son has been visiting and we were working on a lovely motor cruiser servicing generators and fixing water makers.

I finally managed to book the crane and get my mast put back on the boat. This time of year is crazy busy so I can't get a rigging inspection for a month!

Last week we drove 5 hours to Poros in Attica to look at a ketch, unfortunately it had been flood damaged so there was no guarentee the engine would work and the helm had been disconnected. 5 hours from home base is too much of a risk which is a shame because the boat is a beauty under all the peeling paint.
