A weekend of scrubbing, polishing and painting - Part 3

All of the antifouling jobs completed, we returned to the safety of the mooring just as darkness fell. The following morning was another bright and sunny one so here are a few pictures of Maunie taken on Sunday morning..







Thankfully that's the biggest annual maintenance job done for another year!
P.S. Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed the absence of the extra rudder on the stern by the time the photos were taken on Sunday morning. As the water rose at the scrubbing post, we opted to remove the Wind Pilot (aka Winnie- a wind-powered self-steering device, great for crossing oceans but not used as much for coastal sailing). This involved Graham precariously balanced in the dinghy and Dianne removing bolts from inside a locker. Finally, having managed not to drop bolts into the water, we were ready to winch this heavy contraption onto the shore. We will carry out the reverse procedure when we need Winnie but for now we will benefit from not carrying such unnecessary weight.
