Bottom Primed Ready for Anti-Foul 27th Feb 2015

A break in the rain has meant I could get the Hull primed (2 coats) ready for anti-foul, not sure when I'll get that done as weather is looking poor for the next few days.  Also I took the waterline up an inch as since the teak deck was added, we've been sitting lower in the water.

Another two jobs off the list, just the anti foul to go after having sanded the bottom this weekend, then need to clean the deck and were done. Can't wait for the relaunch and we will be back on the water.

Polishing Begins - 7th February 2015

Glorious weekend of sun and rising temperatures (thank heaven), so started with cutting the bloom of the Port Side and Sunday 8th went back to Polish. Still lots to do, and when the weather looks up you start to get a move on and get the boat back in the water.

Port Side Gleaming Starboard side next week weather permitting
