For the past two weeks Xavier has been on a tidal mooring and waiting for the high tide to take us up the Helford River up to Gweek.
Mylor is a perfect spot, so picturesque. But we could not get anything on or off the boat except what we could carry on our backs as the boat was moored front on.
We also found water in the bilges, from her time at Geertman's. They said there had been a leak from a water boiler under the sink. Several gallons of water had been sloshing about in the bottom of the boat for several weeks!

The hull was pretty well covered in chipboard when we bought the boat and finding the water from the boiler made us realise we needed to be able to see all the inside of the hull and how important it was to ensure that everything was sound in the bilges before we focused on the upper part of the boat.
