Grinding Down the Deck

Packaging artist Christo was here

Osmosis Treatment on the top deck of Lunara. Today, we finally started the partial gelcoat removal on the coach roof. Boat is dusty everywhere. We hoped for a grinder with integrated dust removal. That is not happening – sadly. The weather window is marginal, meaning temperature and humidity levels are a notch above the minimum required for this work. Thank god we are in Southern France.

Can’t make a photo of the actual work since I lack the protective equipment for myself.

Update on Tank Cleaning – Diesel BugUpdate on Tank Cleaning – Diesel Bug

300L diesel in our starboard tank were contaminated with dirt and water. After two years of refueling while adding anti Diesel bug additives, we had the choice to fuel polish (which is a filtering and water separation process) or pump out all fuel, clean the tank and replace it with fresh diesel.

‘Slick Hull’ pumped the tank out (company in Portimao) and cleaned it. We had 3 hour express service. 

Afterwards we filled with initial 60L of fresh diesel and completed the rest at the boat gas station. Interesting the tank gauge showed still empty even when you could see 60L of Diesel swapping around of the tank bottom 🙂
