Norbury Wharf Limited: Sundays always seem to fly by!

Sundays always seem to fly by!

We got the day boats ready this morning which Mick dually showed out. We then had to float Battersea off of the dock and dock another boat for survey. Following the survey we floated that boat off and docked a private boat that needs its stern tube assembly replacing. Bernard has been in this afternoon and made a start at stripping it and blowing the boss out, which now means that it is now ready for Graham to attack tomorrow morning.

Lorraine has been catching up with the washing and has cleaned the few boats that we have had in. Ange has been back in following her holiday and has been catching up on paperwork. Jay and Jack have been in the tea room.

That’s it from me for this week. Simon will be back in tomorrow and I am off for a few days, bound for the Black Country Museum for the boat gathering there next weekend. So if you are about, pop by and say hello!

Best regards,

David.
