Oiling continues
Finally very fine weather. Impossible to stay indoors.
I took Meritaten’s newly washed sprayhood and exposed the underside to the Sun. That should keep saprophytes in-bay, for a while.
We go to the boatyard, to re-circulate oil in the bilge. After draining it to the bucket I see that the boat took several liters. That’s the purpose! I’ll need to replenish oil on site.
My small helper is helping dispensing linseed oil into hooks and crannies of the bilge.
The work goes smoothly. We take a look onto changes in the boatyard: Rosättra Båtvarv is erecting new, steel hangar in place of rocks nearby. It will become busy place.
I had more ambitious plans for today - I wanted to remove unused thru-hull valves - but I did not want to stretch patience of my small helper so we called it a day.
Short pause for fika before going home.
Back in the workshop I prepared replenishment of oil and turpentine for tomorrow.
I decrease percentage of turpentine - this oil is very thin anyway so it will get to smallest pores in the wood.
I plan to move on with thru-hulls tomorrow. Hopefully someone will be around to help me with holding them while I unscrew them from the inside.
