Bow netting

Oohh

Bowladder and kedge

Thats the bow ladder fitted with retaining strop to prevent loosing it in the sea. Neatly stowed in the lazzerat locker with the kedge ready to deploy, easy to deploy than it was anyway.

Offerings too neptune are mountimg at a pace in prep for our adventure afloat this summer cruising from newcastle to norway then west coast of scotland.

Softwood bungs with string holes for every sea cock
New kedge anchor rope
Diy made stainless steel bow ladder for bow-to-rocks mooring
Climbing rocks and strops for mooring to rocks
New keyboard and mouse
Underwater wings to fly with dolphins

Fabric and poles and webbing for new massive hooped cockpit cover

One digital card with navonics vector charts for norway

This is just the stuff in the last few weeks the list goes on, thankfully only a little way to go in technical prep, till the skipper is satisfied that neptune is too, only, victualling next and i am working hard to finish my yacht master online theory course so i can practice afloat all the latests ways of navigating using compass, deviders, tables, interpolation charts and chartplotterimg on paper with sums that i can do in my head (who new that could be so much fun).
