BOATSWAIN: Heigh, my hearts! cheerly, cheerly, my hearts! yare, yare! Take in the topsail. Tend to the master’s whistle. [To the storm] Blow, till thou burst thy wind, if room enough!

William Shakespeare
The Tempest

and it is for that reason that a day trip has now become an overnighter

 

[Hooligan]

I can't take much credit for it. I just flew the drone, the drone ( DJI mini 2)took 3 photos using auto exposure bracketing,and then google.photoe combined the 3 photos into a single HDR image.

A good case for a few coats of epoxy ?

Livorno

Nope .

Yes, I think that's more or less my only option from here on. 54 years old means someone's probably sanded the hull 3-4 times at least. There's just no gelcoat left in a couple of places.

Looks like end of September earliest before I get back in the water with her. Engine is out, new (well, 2nd hand) transom assembly ready to go on.

Extremely jealous of all you out there on the water!

It’s very green, is that the weed the island eco anti tourist brigade are using to make life difficult for recreational boaters ?

Blue here ….just sand .

The photo was taken in Palma Nova bay,which is a massive tourist resort (like magalluf) and for some reason the water is really green , I don't know why.

This photo (not my boat) was taken about 1 mile away where our apartment is, and has blue sea as usual.

The poseidonia (sea grass) is the darker areas either side of the yacht.
