Time for a makeover

Kamalii is back on the hard, this time to have the topsides painted. So excited, it's going to really transform her. That said, it has been nice not having to stress about damaging the paintwork.

The haul-out went well, though was a bit challenging having to reverse all the way down the fairway to the travel-lift in a very stiff crosswind. We had the marina's two tenders bow and stern pushing Kamalii sideways to fight the wind. Who needs bow-thrusters.

The Propellor Coat product (an alternative to PropSpeed) we applied last time has worked flawlessly, and the antifouling has held up really well - could probably have gone another season. Maybe.

Anyway, plan is to try and get the antifouling done this weekend, and then the painters will be into it for several weeks,
