After striking an unidentified floating object (UFO) off the coast of Africa, we still had some repair work to do. That included stripping the barrier coat and applying new bottom paint. We did this in Uruguay to prepare the boat for ...
I have noticed that Wahine has been a tad slower of late and when motoring I am getting a slight shudder between 2500 - 3000 rpm. It's been a year since I painted her bottom so I am `hauling her out for a day to inspect, clean, and paint.

Pressure washing helped, but it's time to get to work with some sanders, scrapers, paint stripper, oh and we even try an air compressor and soda blaster (lol).
I will be entrusting my life to the vessel that will carry me across the Pacific, through the Garbage Patch, and north to Vancouver after passing through Nemo North.

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.
