All that is needed here is the application of a bit of logic. When I first bought fuel for Revenge it was 12.5p a litre. When the price rose to £1.25p a litre I had to consider if the work party weekends were actually cost effective.
Combining work and broadcast weekends together was not a success and recently when I tried to assemble a small crew there were no takers.
Broadcast weekends continue as they make a profit.
But truly, at this time of year, what tasks can be achieved. Some work is ongoing, only that nobody photographs it and posts it on social media.
The key thing is that nobody can improve the ship from the waterline down to the keel and that is where the attention is needed. Nobody has had sight of the prop or rudder for thirty years. Nobody even dare turn the sea valves.
So we need a proper marine surveyor ( I've hired one ) to identify priorities. Then we need a fortune of money and while we have raised £180.000, that is only a percentage of what is needed. So outside funding must be sought.
Then we need a shipyard and a means of getting there.
Rust streaks on the funnel, spiders webs on the bridge windows and dull brasswork are not going to sink the boat.
PM.
