Whats left of the muscles and barnacles after the power wash on the dock...
And now it needs all the black area rubbing down with 'wet and dry' plus re painting with Anti foul plus 3 new anodes. Then sorting out two blocked toilets still with **** in them before relaunch on the 18th August.....

And people wonder why there bike doesnt start after leaving fuel in the carbs for 3 months..... try leaving your yacht on a mooring for 3.5 years and expect it to work properly....

Well been up to my shoulders in s**t for most of the day. So glad the holding tanks are only 15 gallons than 60 gallons. Saying that one 'heads' sorted now. 8 baby wipes removed from within the diverter, seacock and pipe work.
The other head works after a fashion. It will pump to the tank and discharge direct but wont go from the tank to sea via the pump. Somethings blocked the pipes so its either more baby wipes or calcium blocked pipes. So day two of clearing heads is on the way.
After that its sanding 42 ft of hull (about 30 sqm of area) before applying anti foul paint and she's almost ready for relaunch.... 17th August.

Head, nautical term, hole in the blank to dangle your swamp gas cannon through when the call of the wild takes you. Term often used to confuse landlubbers and leave them searching for the facilities.

It's not like ebay… it's a proper 'stick your hand up' auction (Hobbs-Parker)
Ramsgate Harbour use Hobbs-Parker to sell off and reclaim monies from boats that have unpaid fees against them. You can get a bargain. I was waiting for the same advert to come out to me for them.
