Nov 29 – Vivace ready to start winter refit. Big things are planned, we want to be ready for March, it may seem a long way off but with a million small things to do, and a few big jobs too, that cant be mentioned here yet 
it will keep me busy at the yard through the next few months! Outside all deck fittings will come off and be resealed, as well as sorting the stanchion bases and a few bent slightly stanchions from over enthusiastic spinny sheets. A new oven is going in, you gotta eat when you are out there!, as well as tidy up in the Nav area and the addition of a new plotter in the Pit area. An extra 2 bilge pumps will go in, one aft, one forward in the peak, and a new alternator booster will assist in getting the most from every charge!
