bottom job

At high tide we moved Araby by long lines to a wall where we positioned her keel to sit firmly on submerged timbers and then secured her to the wall, waiting on the falling tide.




At low tide, at about six am, we started sanding her down, cleaned and then painted on the rising tide. Just getting the paint dry as the tide touched the keel. . . or dry enough. (Bottom paint will continue to cure underwater.)
