    I drink red and port and like it nice and warm :D there is also an air vent behind the fridge so it shouldn't be too bad.

    From the look of the wine rack, you did plenty of work on it......there's no bottles left in it :D;)

    Busy week this week but not so much on the boat , spent today in Temple street hospital with the young lad " all sorted now" had an interview with the "Boat renovation people" more about Old's Cool than the cruiser http://www.boat-renovation.com/fergals-boat-building-glen-l-cracker-box/ I have been called many things but a Swiss army knife is a new one on me :) also the North County leader dropped out to do an interview and take some photos of the cruiser :)

    Just about started to make the box seat to hold the genny.

    Don't worry none of the electrical stuff will be left on the boat till she is on the water.

    Thanks for letting us know. Hard to believe this happened to someone who really deserves the opposite. :(
