We are (sadly) back out of the water again. It feels like the hokey cokey at the moment; in out in out.
On Wednesday evening looking at Kilifi from across the dock, it dawned on us that she wasn't sitting low in the water after all, but that her waterline was wrong.
When a boat is sandblasted, reference points are supposed to be scribed to show the original waterline. When our topsides were painted we assumed (wrongly) that the paint had been put on to the original level. It wasn't and therefore when we put the bottom paint on, it didn't come high enough around certain parts of the boat. (The anti foul paint on the part of the boat which is always underwater helps repel marine growth.)
So we are painting once again and getting ready for another hurricane (once again). Hurricane Beta is tracking towards us over Nicaragua first then due to pass south of us. Hopefully with the mountain range near us it will break up and just give us lots of clean rainwater to wash the decks and do our laundry with!
