Ships don't come out during the winter for a nice antifoul and topside polish.. she's a working girl and gets done on the fly and dried out when the company say so.
So why is she rusty at the bow? There's only (probably) 16-18 staff on board, and the weather's been a bit rubbish for painting recently (that kind of rust doesn't take long!!)
Yep, I saw her coming back on the IOW ferry on Sunday morning, I agree it was quite funny seeing the state of it and then the name, I had to look twice at that !
Parked up outside the Hamble wasnt she. Lots of other working boats on the other side looked much smarter
Looks tidy to me, don't think I'll post a pic of the bucket I'm on right now, makes this look splendid. But at least it's not UK reg with an ironic name.
