Technically those diamond plate walking plates double as fenders and a walking platform. :)

Thanks Jaysen, jonnymac, cape man, MikeyGnz, Lee, and Tom for the banter and laughs on fenders, guards, etc. :D

Lee, I intend finding weighbridge to measure trailer, and trailer plus Skinnydip, weights.

Tom, "went rabbiting" is a newbie for me, and it's a beaut!

I found the elusive little bugger inside one the two same-sized sockets that I was using when assembling. I must have attempted finishing the assembly only with the other. :roll:

I've been laying low these past few days with a throat and chest infection. As a precaution, I got covid-19 tested and have just received a very welcome negative result. Time for a red. :D

Thanks cape man and Tom. :D

I've deliberately not turned on my phone or computer these past five days while recovering from a bad dose of flu. Have been reading and doing odd jobs around the house. I'm starting to come good now. :D

Thanks Jeff and Tom. :D

The local council has cracked down on tenders being stored on public foreshores, so today I moved and anchored Skinnydip wading distance out, and tethered Great Sandy's RIB tender to her with lines and a padlocked cable.

I was hoping to get an additional coat of varnish on Great Sandy's cabin portlight trims and cockpit sole today, but it's overcast with rain threatening.

Tomorrow is looking more promising.
