good progress

Down on the boat and making good progress....

We came down Friday night in order to get an early start on Saturday, which we duly achieved...

By the time we gave up for the day, we'd managed to clean both sides of the top sides with a good cleaner, sand the hull properly, clean and sand the prop down to within an inch of it's life until it gleamed, polish one side of the hull, and then antifoul.

So tommorrow, we need to polish the other side, and then I only have a few jobs to do...

Refit the rope cutter
Fit the anode on the prop
Fit the grounding plate

As you'll gather, the prop was fine.... the anode was very nearly all gone, but was still there, so now we know that we can manage a whole year in the water without a lift out

Secondly, the watermaker mounts were fine... need a little adjustment in order to fit, but all things being equal, should be able to get that done tommorrow as well...

Will report on progress tommorow evening....
