Getting started

First visit to Robinetta of the year, and time to really get down to work. My job is to strip off all the old paint and anti-fouling, which will let us examine the hull, and find the problems that need fixing. It's a long job, and I did less than 1/16 of the hull today.

Meanwhile Julian began to rake out the old caulking. Paul Drake (our shipwright) will do most of it, but he also need to do the re-caulking, stopping and any other re-fixing of nails etc, so the more we can do ourselves the better!
