First boat-work weekend


With Little Scarlet out of the water at Port Solent, Nigel and I had a good weekend polishing and painting. Friday was spent trying to get some of Little Scarlet’s twenty-five year old gel coat nice and shiny and on Sunday we applied the first coat of anti-foul paint.

We spent Saturday attending an RYA First Aid Course (Portsmouth Marine Training) hopefully learning about lots of useful techniques that we won’t be needing!
