Boat Camo, Mk II

Having got my home duties out of the way today (digging up Agapanthus anyone? Horrible shit... and it 'bleeds' a clear gooey sticky itchy ghacky sap) and having taken Justin Bieber Fan Club to the park for a play, I had some time this afternoon to work on the boat.

Generation 1 home made camo looked pretty good, but had major drawback of soaking up water and adding a heap of weight to the boat. Having looked again at what the masses use for camo, I had decided on Avery's Early Season Real Grass, which I got in last year.

Next step was to buy about 300 cable ties!

Then string the net, lay the mats on and cable tie them. 2.5 hours and 200 cable ties later, and she looked like this:





All in all quite a pleasing result, and even better there's 100 and something cable ties left over for JBFC to play with. Never did figure out why she likes them so much.

Wind's still howling. No fishing.
