Marathon has some lovely new bottom paint. The diabolical and relentless attacks by tropical marine life on her old paint required so much scrubbing that the old ablative paint had pretty much completely ablated! So new paint was in order and it was applied completely by remote control. An email or two arranged the whole thing. So much simpler than last year’s drama (see early blog posting on the various boatyard antics that emerged during a cutlass bearing replacement, new bottom paint, rudder re-build), but of course $$$.
