Servicing of the liferaft - 12-01-2007

We finally got around to taking Elsa's liferaft to be serviced today. The service record inside the survival rations showed that the raft was commissioned in 1987 and has never been serviced - eek! It's testimony to the quality of Zodiac liferafts that an unserviced 20 year old raft still inflated with relatively minor persuasion required.
We now await the verdict of the service engineers (Ocean Safety, Port Glasgow) about whether it's a viable raft. Fingers crossed!

Apologies for these poor quality pix. We managed to forget the camera despite returning home specifically to get it !?! These were taken on my phone
