Clean up time

When we wewre in St Lucia I cleaned the waterline and in Marigot Bay I snorkeled and got as much as I could but when I checked the propeller tere were a lot of barnacles and growth that I couldn't do with a snorkel. Today I rented a tank  and did a proper job on the propeller while Joyce got the boat squared away. The propeller had quite a build up of marine life that was noticable when powering we were slow by at least a knot. I tried using a heavy plastic snow scraper to no avail the shells were just to tough. Joyce geared me up with a diving knife and after 45 minutes of hacking and scraping I now have a super clean prop. The nice thing was that the hull is perfect, no growth what so ever, how nice is that. I used Amercoat ant fouling paint(half the price of micron CSC)  back at the dyc and have to say I will definatley use it again, what an amazing product. After all the cleaning and sweating we decided to check out the open deck restaurant located just off our port side from where we are anchored. We took our dingy over and Daffodil the owner assisted us in getting secured. The Young Geran sailing couple who ran the restaurant were amazing. We had a three course lunch Lobster and poached age with a lobster reduction cream sauce to start followed by Sea bass or jerk chicken and topped off with home made Banana bread for desert. What a fantastic lunch best so far in the Caribbean. After a relaxing afternoon recovering from lunch we finished our day off at the Figtree enjoying some live music (Ukulele, banjo and guitar).. I guess we dont have to eat tomorrow.
