We Have Paint!

We are here in Nanny Cay on Tortola working through bottom paint issues at the local boatyard. The manufacturer of our paint came through today after we have been saying that the paint had failed, and the mfg. disagreed. We had presumed they would do nothing so we had procured a completely different brand and started the process of stripping the years of bottom paint off of the boat. We got the email today that they would provide the paint needed to coat our boat's bottom. It is a long process using some pretty impressive (read dangerous) chemicals, plus some hard work by the crew.....which thinned out to one person over the last 3 days. His name is Wilkins and is a great guy....hard working and knows what he is doing and we have been fortunate to have him on our project. it is so strange to see our vessel with a white top half, and a white bottom half.
