Simon is on his own at the boat today, but things start off bad when he has an accidental early morning swim!
But as he drys out, he carries on work in the bilge of the boat, and works on the new sole base
Today Gemma gets down and dirty trying to clean out the engine room bilges, while Simon makes the new bearer.
Ever wondered what it was like onboard our boat during 1944? We have discovered a diary of a young 17 year old, who joined the Navy and was on Sarinda, ML1392 during 1944, so this gives us a look back in time at what life was like back them, we also share our story, and history of WW2!
