Washing and waxing while on the hard

After spending the summer in NE coastal waters to Maine, the barnacle growth on Belle Bateau's thrusters was astounding. BB also needed some washing and waxing, and we didn't want to wait until the spring. The sunny and warm beginning to November encouraged us to do the work ourselves, rather than hiring it out. We worked for several days, but only counting one here, since it's Day 10 of 10 of maintenance as per Century Club guidelines.
