Just had 'Kembali Damai' on the sand-bar for a few days. A really good scrub off, bottom inspection (no problems at all, thank goodness) epoxy primer where necessary, and 20 litres of imported Japanese Kansai antifouling rolled on. Sounds a lot of paint, I know, but actually it was very fast drying stuff and couldn't be spread very far - 4 coats (one per day) left just enough for a couple of coats on the dinghy, but they were thick coats! Now we wait and see if it was worth it. Anyway, back on the mooring yesterday morning and looking pretty good. Next job is the new one-piece dark windows - start that job tomorrow.

Right & below: Been busy fitting new windows in the boat this week - turning out nice too. Made them in a 'one-piece' design (actually 2 pieces but looks like 1.) Got the second outboard side finished today, so all the rest are easy. I was surprised at the difference it makes to the look of the boat....
