Good
news is we've arrived at Pangkor in good time for our lift out
tomorrow afternoon. The less good news is the travel lift has
stopped working. Manager James and his team are working on it today
and if they can't fix it he'll call for an engineer from KL to come
out.
For
us it was a hot, sweaty day preparing. When we're out of the water
our first task is to clean and buff the fibre glass topsides. It's
been two years since our last haul out. Two years since we acid
washed, buffed and waxed the hull to gleaming clean and despite
cleaning regularly sooty exhaust deposits have built up again. We
did rust removal around the rub rail using a solution of oxalic acid
and plenty of water to rinse, removed the headsail sheets and raised
the protective headsail sleeve.
Today
the rain began late afternoon.
