I woke up as the Polish guys left for
work but it was still pitch dark so I snuggled down and waited till it got
light. Got up at 7.30 and woke Ian at
8.00, by 9.00 he had had breakfast and was ready to work.
What a horrible job -
removing every scrap of paint/tar/whatever to take the hull below the waterline
back to bare metal. Tiring and very
dirty! He is using a big power drill
with a special fitting like a wheel that flays all the rubbish off the
metal.
He ends up looking rather like a panda – mostly black with a few white patches where the respirator covers his nose and mouth.

Homemade soup and fresh baguette for
lunch. At Lidl I bought 1 kg of Boerenwurst (farmer’s sausage, our favourite)
and made a huge casserole for dinner (with tomato, beans, paprika), and still
have loads of sausage left so we’ll be eating various sausage meals for a few
days!
Ian worked till 10.00 – totally knackered.
