Splash!
21 October 2011 | Shelter Bay Marina
Drizzle
Friday afternoon Soud Effect splashed back into the water where she belongs.
We managed to put two coats of anti fouling paint on the bottom and three in high wear areas. This will hopefully last another two years .
We also put a two part epoxy primer on the aluminum sail drive followed by special "propeller" paint. We also put on a two blade prop and new zinc.
The zinc prevents dangerous electroylsis from damaging the metal parts under water.
We did stay on board ten feet off the ground for the duration and although we slept and cooked on board showering and restroom facilities were used at the marina contrary to what KOKOMO may have said. Those of you not following our buddy boat Kokomo should go to our front page and and click on favorites to see what they think of the trip to date.
