As the tide went down, so did the sun, so I got the zincs on the propellers and propeller shafts changed before low tide arrived. Wading in the water wasn’t warm, but let me get most of the work done before nightfall.
Changing Zincs

Voyages of the schooner Issuma
I’m not sure that you could pay me enough to go in that water. Alasskkkaa!
But it is a good way to cool off
Now, dat’s got to be some major shrinkage Mon….. brrrrr…
I don’t know how you do it….
I still had the heaters on inside, so whenever I was close to loosing feeling in the feet (just had open beach shoes on), I’d go inside and warm up. And I was paying attention to make sure I wasn’t approaching hypothermia. It worked out fine, but I kept thinking it was definitely nicer to work on the zincs in Brazil than it was in Alaska :).
