The Charnetsky arrived some time ago at Papa Stronsay, but has not done any serious service since it was not really in a suitable condition. Over the last few weeks, Father Anthony and David, a postulant from the United States, have been working to get it up to scratch. See some photos of the progress:
David has an engineering degree which is being put to good use!
Fitting one of the new sampson posts. Squashed in the front of the boat, David screws the nuts...
...while Father Anthony holds the bolts to stop them turning.
Sorting out the wiring...
...and a bit of painting.
There's a little way to go yet, but please God she will serve us well in the future.
