Closer view of the bows, much of what you can see is "slime" - apart from the clumps of "tube worm" on the keel. This animal is normally something of a pest at Whitehaven for boats - or pontoons - that stay afloat for long periods. However, I think that these may have died after the water went brown in November last year.

At lift-out on 5th May 2023. Next job is a quick scrape & pressure washing the hull.

Stern view ... more tube worm, some mussels, barnacles / limpets - considering she has been afloat for at least three years longer than anticipated, the anti-fouling [helped by the ironstone stain in Nov 2022] hasn't done too badly.

Close up of the rudder, propeller and under the hull. The anti-fouling has worked quite well on the wooden hull, but the metal work has accumulated a few items of marine growth - mainly barnacles, mussels and some tube worm. The sacrificial anode has all but disappeared ... so it has done it's job.
