Sundancer II gets a new bottom

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:19 am

With the great weather we have been having, we’ve been spending most of our time working on the boat.  Last week we hauled her - the first time in almost 4 years - and she was given a fresh coat of anti-fouling bottom paint.

In the slings being hoisted out of the water, the bottom was in great condition with no barnacles

This was the fastest, easiest, and definately most expensive haulout we have ever done and we were back in the water 48 hours later.   We managed to wax part of the hull while “on the hard” and finished the job over the weekend working from the dock and dinghy.

Sundancer is now dazzling everyone with her shiny hull, and as soon as Ray completes a few essential electrical jobs we will be heading out to the islands again.

Needless to say, working on my Terelj web gallery is low priority, but not forgotten and I will eventually finish it……..

We had fun looking after David for a couple of days early last week, here are a few pictures from a visit to one of the local playgrounds.
