I can't wait to visit #Voss tomorrow and see how she is. I haven't been for about 3 months now due to other incidents and I'm half expecting her to have taken in some water over the engine bilge into the saloon cabin. Fingers crossed my engine compartment repairs weren't too bad!
The inboard engine on #Sailing#Yacht#Voss is clearly in need of lots of work! This winter I will be spending as much time onboard as possible, and stripping the engine down piece by piece, and cleaning, fine tuning and repainting each component as I go. Wish me luck! Jonathan.

I might invest in another pair of fins having lost my last set! Along with a cheap wetsuit it can be fascinating and liberating free-diving amongst the #Coastal#Rockpools of the #BritishIsles and needn't cost an arm and a leg! Jonathan-Adventure Director: https://t.co/lXEd8GvKth
@carolinemccann Maybe harsh winds stole it from his grip? At least theres time to save the world from rogue balloons than maybe harsh winds? Brave world! I propose thunder and lightning to demonstrate. My requests are met. Ultimately The Lamb fleece is worth picking up, not the harsh tones. Joy!

The original brand name of #Voss is a 'Sunspeed' 715, built in 1980.
* Originally she would have been fitted with a 9HP Yanmar YSM8 Inboard, but this has since been replaced with an engine of unknown origin.
* 4 Berths
* Fin Keel
* Tiller steering

Instead of replacing the cabin saloon deck boarding on #sailing#yacht#voss with similar, I've decided to jump on the modern bandwagon and line the deck with modern mosaic tiles! - Easy to clean and dry, and just as light as the original deck boards and carpets!

Restoration work is now underway on #Sailing#Yacht#Voss! I've started scrubbing the decks down and removing rotten sheets and rigging ropes. She needs an engine rebuild, electrical refit, new VHF radio and depth sounder, plus cabin refit, fridge install and hob extractor!
More WWII Pill Boxes should be opened to the public to be used as bothies by tourists and native hikers. A great feature to boost tourism, promote Britain, and make use of items already paid for by the UK taxpayer. Adventure Capital UK. #Tourism#Leisure#Hiking
@PreetBharara How about the #Rockies? These are like the #Kush foothills. Who cares where Gods country is? Shangrala lies in harmony and good will, it's a gift law of divine human nature.

I can't wait until this coming pay day when if all goes according to plan I will be picking up a @OEXOutdoors Phoxx EV1 in time for at least a couple of summer camping trips around the United Kingdom!

I've really started to get into the swing of things now on the bike with some nice short trips of about 11 miles between Chelmsford and the village I currently live in. Hopefully at the weekend I will get the chance to make some decent tutorial videos on cross country cycling! JC
@Dolly2racer Good on her. Angel! Some of us aren't so lucky and have our own satan (schizophrenia) to deal with as well as everybody else, but I'll try and give #MissionMarrakech another go at some point. It's like being blind, but mentally in the Bible. Jonathan xx
