126. Blacking my narrowboat and welding on new anodes, at Yelvertoft Marina

This vlog picks up immediately where the last one left off, as I head from Hillmorton Wharf to Yelvertoft marina where I had the boat taken out of the water and into their shiny new boat shed for blacking.

I let New Gary jetwash the boat clean but did the blacking myself, a coat each day for three days, after first scraping any loose crud off and applying a rust treatment to the waterline. The blacking used was International Intertuf 16.

After that, New Gary welded on some fresh anodes including flat ones on the centre of the boat sides.
