A quick picture of some of the boys down under the barge painting red anti-foul paint onto Cambria's belly. It's a bit of a confined space but the 65 tonnes of barge are well supported by the massive steel 'wedding cake tier supports' and huge baulks of timber. The barge's bottom is about 85 feet long and 23 feet wide, so takes some time to get a good coat on.
Meanwhile, Dad finishes his weekend cover and is happy to 'hand the operation back to the operators'. He's now off call and can ignore the works mobile. That might be the last time he ever does a weekend cover, what with Project Erroll an' all.
Both humans remembered that it was Valentine's Day and did the necessary with cards and so on. I don't get one, as nobody loves me. Dad is then intrigued to get one in the post, posted in Kent and purporting to be from (2 different hand writings) "Secret Admirer #1" and "Secret Admirer #2". He has his suspicions as the note mentions 'keelsons' which are the inner keel of a sailing barge. Hmmmm
We love a mystery (Wasn't me guv')

Are you sure it wasn't you and H sending the card, we all know your prowess (I think that's how it's spelt) in writing now.....
