After not departing the Marina for a month or so due to rebuilding the raw water pump and full engine service I took my Tub for a over night run last weekend to the island.
At 1700 rpm she struggled to 4.8 knots in flat calm conditions with a really ugly wake.

I called upon my trusty mate Diver Dan and for $100 he cleaned her bum on Saturday while I was at work.

Now
At 1700 rpm she now cruises to 6 knots with a clean wash and at 2000 rpm she started digging in the bum just touching 7knots with clean white raw water exuast.

It was a cold night last night but the 2kva Honda and electric heater kept me nice and toasty for about 4 hours till it ran out of fuel! Then it was up to Trim to keep my feet warm although she rather would just attack them most of the times!

thought I seen another boat on my radar coming to enjoy my Honda! Never made eye contact with it I geuss scared them away!

Next job is to install my new solar panel and start looking at sails and rigging! It never ends! ,
