Arklow Rock
The recent wet, windy, weather has meant progress on Lady Jane has been slow to non existent.
OK, I know I could have worked down below on cleaning and painting the engine room, but ...
The weather also cuts back on the river traffic quite significantly, though most of the commercial traffic continues.
Here you see the Arklow Rock easing herself down the river Itchen (taken a while ago).
I see from the internet that her namesake is in trouble.
There has been a distinct lack of dredgers alongside so I presume, like the Donald Redford, the adverse weather also keeps them idle.

Hi Rob
The burner motor is 90 Watts, 2.6A starting current, 0.85A running current.Allow the same for the circulating pump.

Great, thanks Rob.
I note that as the boat gets more 'civilised', so I need more and more power.
At this rate, I'll have to get myself some solar panels to augment the wind generator.

Oh I almost forgot
The Donald Redford is a dredger, the crew of which I got to know, as she was a regular visitor to supply the Lafarge yard in Fareham.
