Hi Hatters
Not sure Mr Greg what the dolphins name was ? It couldn't keep up and nobody on board can speak dolphin ?
Troppo,not certain how sweet the dolphin is ? but,yes it was shiny and looks good for it's age ! How old is it anyway ?

My slipping of Egret II occurred a week early, was supposed to have been this weekend gone,but Marks Point mixed the dates up .Worst than that I was camping and didn't know until the Monday by the means of a phone call asking what happened ?and why Egret II was not done ? A quick check of the diaries and an OOPS! and how about a free jet blast and a week for the price of a weekend $237.00 bargain . I must say Marks Point Marina were very good and helpful . Along with some help from Greg with expert skills with a paint scrapper and paint brush
I was having a chat about "Prop-speed" antifouling on slow props like Top Hats , and I was told it doesn't work on slow moving props or boats that are not used frequently. They just recommend the same antifouling as what is used on the hull for the prop . Apparently the prop-speed is a silicone base and only works on high speed engines such as powerboats .

Marks Point was great to us when Oberon was on the slip, plenty of free advice and help

Right On Bear,
They were very helpful when I was up and afterwards when I had to sort out the bill!.
Don't agree [so far] about the propspeed as its working well on SEAKA's prop so far
touch wood as the say?
