The photo to the left is the same as the one posted when I arrived in Brazil. The second photo is just a few weeks later in French Guyana. All of that growth above the water line is from being heeled over by the NE trades while crossing the Amazon river delta area. I managed to scrape all of that growth off after the photo was taken to have it all come back after another six hundred mile passage from French Guyana to Trinidad! I have never seen growth like this anywhere else...

That's not the Pierson Vanguard is it? Been a long time since I saw her.
Doh spelt it wrong!
Pearson Vanguard
Tabasco was sold in 2006...
Ah good ol' Tobasco...You probably don't miss her much. That is a crazy amount of growth above the water line. How bad was it below?
I've got the last bit of Jotun with TBT already added upfront and the rest is anti foul purchased locally in Madagscar. Pretty much stuff stolen from the commercial shipyards, thinned and sold to yachties for as much as they can get. It is holding up surprisingly well. It might have something to do with the TBT additive I bought in Penang...
