16.01.2022 The owner of this cruiser asked if we could check to see if there was fishing line caught around his props and to give her bottom a clean while we were down there. Pleased to report....no fishing line ! #dirtyboatbottoms #hullcleaning #boatmaintenance #FISHING #fishinglife

12.01.2022 Here's a couple of boats we Cleaned the hulls for so that the owners could use them over the Christmas holidays. Having a clean hull = better performance and saves on fuel. #hullcleaning #dirtyboatbottoms #boats #sailing #yachts #fishing #christmas @ Newport Marina Queensland

09.01.2022 This was the dirtiest bottom we have had to clean so far. Looked fantastic when we finished.

06.01.2022 SHIPS LOG: Origin of Port and Starboard Since port and starboard never change, they are unambiguous references that are independent of a mariner’s orientation, and, thus, mariners use these nautical terms instead of left and right to avoid confusion. When looking forward, toward the bow of a ship, port and starboard refer to the left and right sides, respectively.... In the early days of boating, before ships had rudders on their centerlines, boats were controlled using a steering oar. Most sailors were right handed, so the steering oar was placed over or through the right side of the stern. Sailors began calling the right side the steering side, which soon became "starboard" by combining two Old English words: stéor (meaning "steer") and bord (meaning "the side of a boat"). As the size of boats grew, so did the steering oar, making it much easier to tie a boat up to a dock on the side opposite the oar. This side became known as larboard, or "the loading side." Over time, larboardtoo easily confused with starboardwas replaced with port. After all, this was the side that faced the port, allowing supplies to be ported aboard by porters.

03.01.2022 Cleaned the hull and got this cruiser ready for the owner to use over the Christmas period. #dirtyboatbottoms #hullcleaning #fishing #boats #water #diving

02.01.2022 This poor girl had a very dirty bottom. It hasn't been used for months after Lightning struck the mast and fried all the electrics. #dirtyboatbottoms #hullcleaning #boatmaintenance #lightingstrike #catamaran #sailing

01.01.2022 Cleaned this hull for an absentee owner stuck overseas due to COVID. #dirtyboatbottoms #hullcleaning #scarborough #diving #sailing #pacificocean

01.01.2022 Cleaned out the build up of barnacles in the Bow Thrusters on this lovely Sundancer 355 cruiser. A bow thruster is a propulsion device that provides lateral thrust to help with manoeuvrability in particular when berthing the boat. Bow thrusters push a boat’s bow (Front) or stern (Rear) sideways in either direction through the water. #dirtyboatbottoms #hullcleaning #bowthruster #sundancer355
