This week was designated
bottom paint week. So Monday morning at 9:00 am the Brunswick Landing Marina
travel lift gently lifted “Wind Dust” out of her home in the water. On the
way to the blocks, her bottom received a thorough pressure wash and she
was resting comfortably on the hard by high noon.
We selected Interlux Micron
66 paint and the 1st coat was applied Tuesday morning after some
minor scrapping and bottom prep.
Wednesday morning the running gear (MaxiProp
and BowThruster) were cleaned, painted and new zincs installed. Wednesday
afternoon the second coat of paint was applied. Thursday, Mother Nature handed
us heavy rain all day so launching was delayed. Friday afternoon at high tide “Wind
Dust” with her new bottom settled in as the BLM travel lift lowered back in the
water. The yard staff assisted our departure from the lift bay and “Wind Dust”
was back in her slip on dock 8 within 10 minutes of departing the yard.
As many people know,
Brunswick Landing Marina and the Yard are under new management and it shows. We
want to thank Jim and his staff for a professional job delivered as scheduled
and on budget. Great experience and very convenient!
