Now that my decks are finished I could not help but show you the finished product.  A nice Christmas present for Wild Fox albeit leaving me unable to afford a turkey this year.  After months of searching I have found the source of the leak in my forehatch – if I lie on my back in bed the drip hits me on the nose.

Just a few more days and I should be ready to head off to Ko Phayam to spend Christmas with a group of fellow cruisers.  A nice island, so far undeveloped – no roads, no cars, a few motor bikes but loads of sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
