Another week on the hard sees us really over all the dirt, mosquitos, sun and boiling days, without that beautiful water to jump in off the back of our amazing home. We tackle the priming, painting and sea cocks to get Merewether ready to splash back in that Caribbean Sea. We want to shout out "...
This week we pull Merewether out of the water for a much needed antifouling and general maintenance, with little to no experience we tackel the jobs ahead all by ourselves and safe to say we learn a lot throughout. With very long days, many mosquitos and tough labourer we bring you along, uncensored...

Time to fix the hole in our boat! We get hauled out in Noumea and spend 48 hours on the hardstand to replace two ball valves and throw another coat of antifoul on.

We’ve had a long history of trying to get our CopperCoat antifoul to work. After paying an initial fee of well over $10,000 to get our boat sanded back to the gel coat and an application of Coppercoat we discovered months later that the application did not work. Our boat was full of barnacles.
