Out of the water - that's right - once a year it's a good habit to check the bottom of one's vessel - Carinthia needs a little anti-fauling put on - and as paints go it's - you guessed it - a lovely navy blue - manufactured by Jotun it's Seaforce 90 - about 4 gallons - thanks to Joe we shoudl be back inthe water on friday.

So on the hard - waiting for the paint to dry - and busy prepping the boat to sail to Fiji in less than a month.
