Refurbishment 2018


   Looking forlorn, Tides Inn has been sitting in storage for the past two years waiting for me to return from working in Europe. Going on 15yrs old, its time for general overhaul of many of her systems. Its time now to get started on a thorough refurbishment.  First up, in preparation for a new bottom painting,  is stripping off the areas of bottom paint that have been flaking off. 



   
     Also, its time for a new cutlass bearing and cleaning up the prop for treating with PropSpeed to slow down marine growth.



    These are the first tasks on the 3-page worklist. I'll keep updating the progress on the blog here.
