Once the tide went out on monday, I discovered the anode near the propeller had disappeared (fizzled away) so I replaced it this morning. With the addition of a wooden backing piece to isolate it from the copper sheathing on the hull (otherwise It will disappear again very fast!)
whilst maintaining the connection to the brass it is protecting.


After this I scraped more of the paint from the aft cabin, and dad fitted draught excluders to the wheel house doors.
last but not least I rigged a tarpaulin over the bow to help the deck dry out.
