Cold night, sunny spells with grey clouds. Up bright and early. Mike made a start by sanding down the filler he put round the D irons on the stern then he painted the weed hatch. He decided to put a spot of weld in a depression in the steel by the exhaust pipe so I had to watch for signs of the paint on the inside setting on fire (it didn’t!). The neighbours chalked out their water line ready for painting their antifouling. Anne made us a cuppa, then we painted our hull, third and final coat of vinyl tar. Anne did a second coat of creosote on our fenders before helping Olly paint their first coat of antifouling. Paused for coffee and sandwiches. Mike went in the cabin to fix the power supply for the fridge (a bad connection on the current limiter, he thought.) I did the first coat of paint on the colours round the stern, then a coat of black on the plate for the weed hatch. Tidied up and went back on board. Helped lift the welder back on board. Mike watched the Canadian F1 GP, racing in the wet.
