So they have been a long time coming, but I finally have a couple of photo's of my new toy, Shiraz2. She's a Red witch trailer sailor that's been unused for a few years, but I'm hoping to get her moving again in the not too distant future. That said, I keep finding more and more little jobs to do, and in almost 5 months we have still yet to leave the mooring. first 2 trips aboard were spent scraping off a few years of gull poo (I doubt the kids will ever want to step foot on her again.... :-( ), and since then there have been a number of small jobs that needed to be done first.

However, we are getting close. A new battery / solar set up is required, along with replacing all of the cleats that have gone brittle beyond use. New marker lights (old ones have been stolen!), a few new ropes and a damn good clean inside and she should be ready.

Later jobs will include a new lick of paint, and maybe the addition of basic food prep facilities / storage inside.

Will keep you updated as to how we get on, and when we finally leave the mooring!
