June 11th 2011 Ready for blacking and central heating

We had a lazy start to the morning but then got busy stowing everything away and packing some items to take back home with us. We payed a visit to Justin at Aqua boats just to check everything was still ok for Shell Bell to have her bottom blacked on Monday a process that takes around three days,we found Justin on board one of his hire boats making it ready for new customers,but although very busy still found time to take down particulars of a couple of quotes we would like, for having some internal alterations done to Shell Bell and of course he confirmed that all was ok for the blacking to start on Monday. Next stop was at Midland chandlers on site to replace the chimney cover we lost the previous day.(commonly called the china man’s hat) Before we left the boat I gave Stuart of Fletcher Marine services a call to check that he was ok for next Thursday to install the Webasto central heating system into Shell Bell once again no worries all arranged. So it was around 2pm we locked Shell Bell up and departed Willington to make our way back to Bungay it was a good journey with no hold ups, so we plan to be at home for a week to allow all the work on the boat to be completed.
