A few days at anchor
What do you do the whole day long? Well for example filling up the gas tank for the Dinghy and take it to shopping in the village of Alvor. Then head back, have lunch and a nap for the little one. Meanwhile you swim around the boat and clean the area where the antifouling marine coating ends (thats the under water coating) and the white of the glassfibre of the boat starts. You use a sponge and swim around the boat and clean that. Ah yeah right, a catamaran has 4 sides :-( All together we have around 50m of cleaning area, where you scrub with one hand and swim with the other. After you are done with that, its time for some free diving, but only half a meter deep to the saildrives and propellers. Even though LinoCat has been in the water only around 5 weeks, there is significant growth on the saildrive shafts and so it took me maybe 20 dives to scrub it off. Then a little bit of more swimming and splashing with the little one. In the bay of Alvor our thermometer showed 28 Celcius. NICE!...
