Boat LIFE: SCRAPING 12 Months of Marine Growth off our Aluminum Trawler [Ep. 122]

It has been 12 months since our aluminum boat, Tangaroa, has been out of the water and there was a ton of growth on her and guess what? It was Blaine's turn to scrape - and get covered with pinching skeleton shrimp!

You guys should seriously look into wind power 4 days that have no sun

[@OnboardTangaroa]

I grew up off grid and the wind generator we had was so loud and it shook the house and brought in minimal electricity. Solar is so much better....and silent. As soon as we get out of the PNW there will be no issues as there will be sun everywhere.

Wonder of there is an underwater buffer or something you guys could rent which would make it alot easier on him.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

I dont know but it was pretty brutal. I only had the energy for about 2/3 of one side and both rudders and propellers. Was totally spent after that.

@@OnboardTangaroa They have under-battery water buffers (Lack of the Proper word) SV Zahara uses one on their Cat. Also wearing those underwater hoodies (Lack of knowing what Scuba head gear is) minute critters come off when scraping may enter the ears and cause issues Playing catch on the videos

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Good to know. That would likely save us lots of effort. Hoods would definitely help as well. We have decided that the biggest benefit would come from getting off our mooring and moving around more often 😁. The maybe the ablative paint will.......ablate. Thanks for watching!
