We drove up to the boat yesterday afternoon because we had arranged for Petillant to be hauled first thing this morning. We wanted to be there to see the effects of 2 years in brackish and salt water and a crossing on the hull. There was quite a bit of slime but surprisingly little hard growth although we were getting a good crop on mussels on the bow! The bottom was in good condition and still quite blue and lots of paint to spare after the power wash. The boat will be painted and new zincs put on and go back in the water on Thursday. RXC found a problem with the GPS which spread to the autopilot which now needs to be fixed before we do much sailing. Time to upgrade the electronics maybe?
