At 8am we were ready to get hauled out. The lift went well and Newt was put safely in her cradles. The scary part was that we weren't made to get off the boat whilst it was in the crane so we had a free ride across the boatyard!!
We wanted to lift out because the Sea Hawk anti fouling we put on in Grenada has been disappointing. We put on 2 coats of black and 2 coats of red and by the time we were in the Marquises you could see patches of red and even patches of green (original coppercoat). The anti foul is good in that nothing grows on it but it is far too soft – even the slightest touch brings off paint.
We thought that the anti fouling would easily come off with the pressure wash – the black paint fell off but the red wasn't moving. We sanded the bow for 2 hours and couldn't bring all the red off so we did the best we could and are going to paint over the red. We have decided that we must have had a bad batch of black paint for it to fall off so easily.
We had a busy day sanding the bottom, cleaning the topsides and touching in the red stripe so we are ready to anti foul tomorrow.
