You're right, I had some on board, but decided to wait until she comes out in October.
The anti fouling was a bit patchy and anodes still had some life in them.

I hope catch up on its recent lack of use, so she staying in for just a few more months.

I was amazed how much the pressure washer got off, will get the brick cleaner & Brasso next time !

Lol, I know, I know........ you can't buy experience.

What I did find interested (but easy to understand) was the effect at slow speed
maneuvering.

This is the reason for the soot.....

Yup, just cleaned a mountain of that off ours, too. The rudders, props, P-brackets and shafts now all gleam...

Some years you get weed and slime that kills the performance, other years it's barnacles. This year seems to be a barnacle year...
