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!

The Heron has had its annual smear of antifoul, 11 days to go! I enjoyed a beer afterwards too.

ReplyDeleteBursledon - I'm trying to rein in the same tendency - every time I look at her I think of something else I want to do!
