One of the many things that I am bad at is sticking letters onto the side of  a boat. I have finally removed the American from Dileas’ flank and now have to stick on the letters that spell Dileas. This terrifies me as no matter how I measure, plumb-line, calculate, I always mess this kind of thing up.

The S is tilted

I also do it at the wrong time as the tide is rising and suddenly Dileas floats and thus escapes each time I try to stick on a letter.

Not too bad

I have a new anchor.

This is about 2 meters underwater. See how clear the sea is.

I go for a little swim because I cannot sail.

My fleet lies in front of my house. Dileas dismasted but little blue boat doing well. 

I wish my side stay would appear in the post box. How long will it take?
