Rain in the night, grey skies and damp until later afternoon. We need to get paint on as soon as the sides have been brushed so we gave up on the idea of starting the wire brushing. Olly soldiered on with the pressure washer. Our surveyor, M. Lemaire, arrived and did his hull thickness checks and chatted with Mike about the rest of the services. He came on board and I made coffee and we talked. He told us that there were lots of new regulations coming in and it seems that some people have only read the new rules – there is another document, which must be read in conjunction with the new rules, which gives a time schedule as most of them will be phased in gradually, plus a thing like having two doors to an engine room applies only to engine rooms over 35m2! He asked how long we would be on the dock so Mike told him about a week to ten days depending on the weather. He said he would be in touch. When Olly finished Mike packed the pressure washer up and Anne went with him to take it back to the hire shop, visit the Brico and do some shopping in Carrefour. Mike couldn’t get any wire cup brushes as the Brico didn’t sell them.
