Spent the afternoon in the garage today screwing in the last of the fittings and rigging up the bowsprit launch gear. We were hoping to do the Kielder Dam to Dam tomorrow, but the forecast is 5 degC, 25mph south-easterly and persistent heavy rain with a risk of snow up in the hills. Not exactly ideal conditions for our first go with the bigger rig and asymmetric. Cluck, cluck, I know.
