Jobs #24 and 25 completed... 16 days to go...

Couple more jobs completed, as the clock ticks steadily away...   bit of a cheat these as they have to be done every year anyway...

Job #25 was the antifoul - that's completed now...  from this:



...and two coats of Tiger Extra later she looks like this:


Navy blue is the dogs nadgers for making boats look good...


..I also put an extra layer round the water line for good measure, and based on last year I also raised the water line half an inch....



...ached in every bone in my body once that lot was done...

Job #24 was the outboard service - all done, no issues...

Finished the day with beers in the cockpit with "Coral" Paul who'd been crawling around underneath his all day with a pressure washer - think we both deserved the beer, and what a lovely day it was weather'wise!
