OK now in Bruce's yard. Joana hands me a bit of paper with the new address for deliveries. Boat name. Owners name.
Estrada do Passeio Ribeirinho 6
8000-537 Faro Portugal.
Experience shoes that not all shippers will deliver to this address. The old one apparently still works.

When I sold Rosa Minha to Michael Elphic some thirty years ago he had her modified in what was generally known as "Bruce's Boatyard, Faro" and nobody was much bothered about an official address and there were no post codes in those days - happy, relaxed times.

Is there a boatyard favorite bar where people hang out after a hard day on the sandpaper?

Thanks Sandyman. How recently was it dredged? Am planning relaunch mid Nov - tides only suitable on 2 days. So if the bottom has been shaved then that will help!

Still working in some areas. Will be seeing Bruce tomorrow morning & get back to you on that. The main channel is now complete as far as I am aware, giving min 3M at LW springs from the slipway to No23 bouy. Will however check that in the morn to confirm for you.

Am thinking you meant HWS per your earlier post? 3 m at LWS would be a lot of mud to dredge!
Much appreciated. I came in on a 3.4 m tide and my es showed 2.7 m at the PHM post where there's a sharp turn to port. I draw 2.85. Calib may be out a bit (!) but any more depth would be great. I didn't feel the bottom...

I think it's 3m at HW springs. I can now dinghy in at LW springs whereas that used to be impossible so, there's obviosly more water than the range. Floating pontoons at the lifting dock now.

Minimum of 2 1/2M at LWS. Yes a lot of mud. Its taken them a year & a half.

Thanks Sandyman. If they've got from 2.7 m depth at HWS (3.4m on the day) to 2.5 m at LWS in 3 weeks then they've shifted a lot of muck at that PHM pile - or the launch led me astray!

Must have led us astray as well,we had under 1m under the keel, 1.5m draught in one place and there is a stretch between the long jetty and 23 buoy where he hasn't dredged.

So where's the best place to get antifouling round here?

I got mine from John's Ayamar in Ayamonte on special offer. Whether it is any good remains to be tested. It is heavy though.
