We pulled Java out Oct 4th. Bottom was very clean, had about 30% slime and almost no barnacles. It had been 6 months since she went into the water. I touched up and repainted the bottom, cleaned the shaft and prop. Tomorrow, Joan and I start buffing and waxing the hull. Using Maine Sails methods... wait until she finds out how heavy the buffer gets after a few hours..
For my bottom paint I use a PPG Amercoat ABC 3 and cost $120/gal. see pic.
If things keep going well with the chemo, Joan and I plan to head out of the Potomac River and south by Thanksgiving. We plan to hit the Keys and Ft Myers and return by April.
Wish I could leave earlier but who cares we are headed south... Look out Nick I might need a place to stay if my Daughter kicks me for corrupting the kids..
