Since we were already hauled out and awaiting various workmen and parts, I decided to have the bottom repainted with anti-fouling paint as the paint applied in New Zealand took quite a beating with thousands of miles of blue water crossings. Yesterday they applied the primer coat (see picture) and today we will put on two coats of navy blue paint.

Hopefully we will launch tomorrow and do all the testing on the various electrical and prop shaft projects. If all goes well, we hope to restart our journey to Crete on Friday.
