Shiny new anode

Went to the boatyard today with one week to go before launch day. Alex got to work preparing the hull for anti-fouling, while I got the covers off, cleaned the cabin a bit, and sanded the damaged varnish off the foredeck cap rails. I will put DEKS no 1 on them tomorrow.

Meanwhile the yard had done what I asked them too, and Robinetta has a new anode, the old one having served for a while. Apparently the bolts holding the old one on snapped while the anode was being removed, so she now has new bolts. The engineer who did it came up to tell me what happened, and assured me it's properly connected to the engine block.
