Boat hull scrubbing with Cristian Fiberglass quote Filming with the GoPros

Ok today was a longgggggg day.

It started out with heading down to the boat and doing an initial morning run where we removed all of the old wood and debris that had been sitting on the deck for a bit over a week.

We were meant to do it on the skiff but Juan hadn’t organised it properly, so we ended up doing a few yellow dinghy runs.

After that Juan came with Nica the Nicaraguan. He had a new idea of how to relay the decking but he is estimating $16,000USD to do it, which seems way more expensive than it should be. I’m going to need to sit on this.

After that, Cristian and I jumped into the water and began a cleanup job. Unfortunately I massively fucked up the recording mode of the original videos into some timelapse type of thing. Still here is a comparison pair:

How we started:

Eventually Juan pulled up his boat and we had a few drinks. I met a really cool guy named David who is also a software dev that lives on a boat.
