Mumbles Belle Lift Out. Thursday 30 July 2020. Skipper Vic Lilygreen
Mumbles Belle came out of the water at 9am today to get the engine out and the oil leak fixed. She will get washed off and anti fouled if required.
I will check the anodes & replace any that have sacrificed too much. If I get any offers of assistance I will give the seats a coat of wood preserver & hopefully give the duckboards a coat of Creosote ready for the winter. It would be nice to see a coat of white go on the wheelhouse & seats but I cant see that happening!
While the engine is out I will give the bilge a lick of paint & give the engine a coat of gloss, should be like a new boat when she goes back in, but it will still be a "Chugger".
Many thanks to Richie Pearce and Allan Walters (who took the photos) for giving a hand.
