When I refitted the awning back onto the boat after its trip to Lostwithiel to have the engines services I noticed that some of the stitching on the awning was coming unstitched! I had visions of having to delay the start because I couldn’t get the awning sewn back. However, nothing quite so dramatic because the guys at SlikCut in Plymouth stitched it back together without anything of a fuss. Thank you to SlikCut.
If you need any awning or canvas work done I can not recommend SlikCut more highly and having used them several times before I can say that they are professional, friendly, helpful and give excellent service and value.

Tomorrow Sally and I are off to Poole to visit the RNLI MOB Guardian control room and to talk to the people that administer the MOB Gardian system.
I am really looking forward to this visit. It will allow me to fully understand how the MOBG system works so that I can explain it to fishermen that come to see the system on board.
More details on the visit when we return tomorrow evening or over the weekend.

That’s right… Stargate is back from the engine service safe and sound and I would like to thank Arthur and his team at Outboard Services and Marine in Lostwithiel for being so helpful and doing a great job in getting her back quickly and ready to go.
Now that the engines are serviced I can start to get the bo0at ready in earnest for departure. I have a list… a very long list! I am sure I don’t need all this stuff and I am even more sure it won’t all fit on so there will need to be a bit of pruning. I think I will just start to load the most important stuff first and see when the boat is full 
.
More details on loading and the final days to departure next week.
