August~13 The
trimming of JENAL was up for major debate amongst the trades
working on her. 5,000kg was the agreed weight split between the starboard
side and the bow but what material to use became the fulcrum for argument.
Either the less expensive oil bagged
mild steel scraps or lead ingots. As you will see from this forepeak
picture, lead won. Simply because it took a lot less space for the same
given weight and space is always at a premium on a live-aboard barge.
Alan started his organisation plan
for the forepeak as soon as the lead ingots were in place. The upended RIB
can be seen at the base of the picture but no motorbike yet.
