2.5 years since last slip.







30 minutes of pressure wash later.





Altex 5 as usual plus prop-speed for first time.
Not so successful with the prop but have half of kit left from last time so will another go.
Boat was stationary for 8 months (vic lockdowns) so might have been a factor with that.

That's pretty good for 2 years. I just slipped my Top Hat and it was about 2 years 4 months, looked about the same. I'm in 8 metres of water in a bay, so thankful it's not like some other places in Sydney. Now if I could just get rid of the seagulls!

I wish my boat looked that good after 2 years! This is what I had after 13 months. The boat lives on a mooring in Freshwater Bay on the Swan River in about 10m of water. I should use it more often - maybe that would help with the heavy fouling.
