Re-splashed after 4 days on the hard. I am totally wiped. I love living on a boat, but maintaining one is grueling work.
Everytime we haul out I feel like me & Dev are always learning a ton of new things. In this haulout, we learned to:
- Dissassemble/reassemble our prop
- Use a puller
- Remove the shaft coupling
- Service our dripless shaft seal
- Wax the hull properly
Aaand we learned that we can't remove Pino's shaft w/o removing the engine :angry_laugh:
A boatyard is a very unhealthy place.
Blue, black and red rivers of antifouling-logged water run at your feet. Clouds of ground plastic and paint drift by, settling on the ground when the wind dies, and rising with every gust. The constant roaring of grinders and machinery attacking your ears, and the nose-burning stink of an assortment of toxic chemicals.
