23 MAKE MY DAY. Blisters?

We went to Lelystad to haul out of the water for some planned maintenance. This work was originally planned for April/May but Corona virus restrictions delayed us until July. The planned work was: replace seacocks under the waterline replace the hoses for the fresh water system replace the sanitary hoses for the heads replace the seawater inlet hose for the engine cooling fix paint damage on the outside of the hull and paint sections of the inside of the hull However when we hauled the boat we discovered blisters just under the waterline. Very strange on a steel boat. These turned out to be sections of the hull that were not properly prepared when MMD was sandblasted and primed 3 years earlier. So we needed to sand these back to steel, reprime, and refair before we could reapply Coppercoat. This added 2 weeks to our scheduled haul out. So we spent the month of July in Lelystad on the hard. Additionally the mixing elbow from the engine was replaced with a new one made of stainless steel by Stam Metaal of Lelystad. Moving the boat from our home port of Schokkerstrand to Lelystad, I was helped by our friend Taras. We encountered some fairly high winds of 25+ knots on the nose in the Ijsselmeer. Since the Ijsselmeer is only 4 meters deep, this can bring on some rough conditions. A severe chop with a very short interval. After arriving in Lelystad we encountered a 25+ knot gust crosswind as we were docking Make My Day. You can see the results in the video. Luckily paint work above the waterline was already on the schedule. Our haul out was done at Deko Marine in Lelystad. A good yard for haul out work. Very helpful people and fair prices. Great facilities and a good restaurant on site. Music by Troy and Paula Haag and Solitary Zebra. Enjoy the chaos.😳😊
