Shrimp Undercover

Shrimp Undercover, originally uploaded by Bay Photographic.

My Orkney Longliner 'Shrimp' in the boat shed at the marina. Covered over with tarpaulins to ward off the dive bombing runs of the swallows that have recently taken up residence in the shed as they do every year.
Shrimp now has a boat safety certificate, three coats of epoxy paint on the underwater hull, a serviced engine and an electrical system.
Very soon she will have two coats of antifouling and be immersed in the Lancaster Canal. At which point I will find out if the water line I arbitarily drew on her is on, under or way out of the water.
Frankly, if its not in the right place its a bit late.
