Current location for King Malu

Teak oil, clean hull & clean filters

So today we finished all the work for the dry dock: I started the day by finishing sanding around the stanchions and under the toe rail. That all had to be done by hand. Meanwhile Tim found another use for pastamani - to clean the hull topsides.

I then put on two coats of teak oil and then we went for lunch. After lunch, a final coat of teak oil, Tim finished the topsides and we cleaned the water filters.

We then set about sorting what we want to keep onboard and what we want to remove. Most of the paint and a significant number of tools will be removed. The plan is to return King Malu to being a sailing boat rather than a project boat.
