In the water again...

I'm certainly sleeping well with this increased level of activity. A good 9 hours last night. Yet another lovely day but it may be the last for a while. The weather forecast is for cloudy with showers tomorrow followed by rain at the weekend.
Today is laundry day. Four loads. Once this is started I resume sanding the teak toerails prior to a coating of Endeavour Priming Oil. After about 20 minutes sanding my friend Carmen arrives with some suggestions on places to visit in the Canary Islands. Later we walk round the promenade to one of the yacht clubs for a coffee.
Back on board I decide to plug in the external deck speakers for some music while I work. While so doing I suffer an attention malfunction which results in one of the mounting screws falling over the side. Oh well, I'm getting used to this now. On with the mask and snorkel and in I go. The screw is recovered on my second dive and I take take some more underwater pictures while I am there.
Propellor before and after cleaning.
About one quarter of the gunwhale is sanded and oiled before I finish for the day.
A tall ship arrived overnight so I walk around to have a look. She is the brig Stavros S Niarchos and a fine looking ship she is too. More photos here.
She is operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust.
