Was able to finally haul out at Port of Olympia after a pandemic delay and only had to do bottom paint and a prop clean. But this time I put a coat of red PCA Gold on first and then topped with blue, as I want to have a better sense of the rate it ablates. I fear it is accumulating a bit more than dissipating, and this will tell me. I also decided to try the Petit Zinc Prop Coat on the prop instead of more lanocote prop coat as I figure I can't do much worse. The lanocote lasts a bit less than a year, and then I am constantly fighting barnacles. I even had a full on OYSTER growing on the base of the prop at this haulout.

| Such a stout and lovely vessel |

| Also used an aluminum instead of zinc |

| Now if that isn't the wrong way to see a boat, I don't know what is! |
