New Chain Plates for Lucy

A busy morning on River Taxi duty was followed by an afternoon of preparing and fitting new chain plates on Lucy Morales; well fitting one chain plate to be precise. I ran out of colloidal silica (a filler to make epoxy resin a paste) and time - in that order. The results are pleasing, but the acid test will be when they come under load when the shrouds are re-connected. What fun!
