Well here are some photos you never thought you would see, me scrubbing Rowenas bottom! I'm the one with the leopard print wellies, you have to keep up appearances even when you have royal navy overalls on!

Yes we had to scrape off all the loose antifouling with a scraper and wire brush, my arms ached, my back ached and I was covered in black dust and looked like a coal miner. That took all of one day, the next day we had to prime all bits that we had scraped off. Once our arms have unstiffened we have to paint on the anti fouling that may be next week when Rowena is out of the paintshop.
