We’ve hardly got the energy to write this.
We started at 6am. First job remove the steering pedestal, ready for the engineers to weld on Monday. Then Sue back scraping barnacles, Andrew sanding waterline and all the chips and scratches. Seventeen metres down each side. By lunch time Andrew had got 3/4 of the way down one side. After lunch the sander packed up. The hardware shop is only a 2 hour walk each way. Luckily as Andrew was about to set off, someone working on their neighbouring boat offered Andrew a lift.
An hour later back to the sanding. The waterline is sanded and one side of the boat is barnicle free, so we took an early mark today and finished at 4.30pm.
