Maintenance

I know it's only January but I am already starting to dream about the summer. And more specifically, the summer in my boat. Oh dear. Which reminded me that ex-flatmate promised to help with maintenance. Scraping mussels off the bottom of the boat, oiling things and stuff. Not so sure what you actually do with a boat, other than driving it and partying in it. Somehow I don't think ex-flatmate has the intention to do what he promised. Why should he? He never kept any other promise. Dilemma. So have been fishing (pun intended :) amongst my friends for contacts in this area. And today I got a phone number for somebody. So called, and he was very friendly. And spoke very good English. And he said he would think about it, and call me back next week. I hope he will. Just in case this doesn't work out, anybody out there has a contact in the boat maintenance area?
