We have been hauled! By the very competent crew at Puerto Lucia. This
looks like a really great yard - really quite professionally run. I'm a
happy Hector!

The bottom doesn't look that bad - given that the paint is nearly four years
old. I've lost some paint along the waterline due to it receiving an extra
heavy scraping by Santos in Bahia Del Sol - and I've lost some on the keel
where it has flaked off exposing he lead. All in all much better than I
expected and certainly much better than I deserve!

Spent the entire day and about a zillion gallons of fresh water cleaning the
topsides of all remnants of salt. Think I've finally got most of the El
Salvadorean bat shit as well!

Today the boat gets moved again out of the industrial end of the yard to the
residential end. Good news as both the trawlers on either side are having
copious amounts of spray painting done.

Quite amusingly the boat has not been stowed level - it is listing slightly
to port and most definitely bows up stern down - so it's quite weird; I
occasionally experience a mild panic attack and then remember I'm on the
hard.
