Graptolite now has two coats of very expensive antifouling paint and the
underwater works are happily more or less completed. The skipper beats that
with a minimum of four coats of antifouling; boat paint splashes; bite
cream; insect repellent and sunblock. As it takes time and money for these
protective coatings to be applied, I'm resisting showering it off so I'm
probably relatively repellant to humans as well just now. Fortunately there
are not many people around. I should have some new crew next week.
There are a few other boaty problems remaining but they can all be handled
at anchor or in a marina away from these bloody sand flies.
