Tixall Wide

A bit concerned that the SG was reading only about 65 this morning, even though we've been on the landline for the last few days. Had used the TV a fair bit in the evening – but even so…

Applied primer over yesterday's rust converter on the stern. Removed the weed hatch cover so I could turn the prop while applying more silicone grease to the seal on the water-lubricated transmission. Since the weed hatch was showing signs of corrosion, applied Fertan liberally to that while the cover was off. Left for four hours or so before replacing the cover to avoid accidents when running the engine for charging / hot water.

0 miles, 2 engine hours
