Hi, to all. We are still following your progress with great envy (wish we were there). We are also taking note of the plus and minus points you are making, these hopefully will help us next year when we get to follow in your footsteps. We are at present still having engine problems. The replacement reconditioned engine was fitted (supplied by Sam) but failed after 4 hours running (low oil pressure). I had the engine sent to Perkins at Cumbernauld to be checked over and repaired and it is due back tomorrow (Tuesday) We have had a full report and are now confident that we have a reliable engine and are hoping to make a trip down to Dublin in the next couple of weeks if the weather permits to try it out. In the meantime please keep the reports coming we are enjoying reading your news.

Love Tom and Anne
