Hull-blasting, Day 2

 A quiet day - lots of preparation by the ABC boys. 

They wash down the topsides with acid. The boat is moved into the blasting bay. where they mask off and cover all the upper part of the boat down to the waterline. We are raising the waterline about 3cm, so there is work to be done to measure and mark off the new waterline. All this is in preparation for the actual blasting. Captain is pleased to find that they won't need to remove the rudder - that can be blasted in situ.

She's in there somewhere behind the curtains.
