times, and that was in December of last year when I found myself alongside Chatham Island. \u00a0\u00a0From the 47<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0parallel, I need to travel 600 miles South in order to pass Cape Horn. \u00a0 If I can\u2019t get to the right latitude, I run the risk of being swept to the Western shore of Chile. \u00a0 I need at least a week, but ideally two, of North-Westerly winds in order to cross into 52-53 degrees South.<\/p>\n<p>When the winds have calmed just before the headwind started to blow, I scrubbed the hull with a special broom-brush. \u00a0\u00a0Charlie Pitcher suggested it to me and I\u2019m glad I have it on board. \u00a0 The broom has a scraper and is bent in the form of a shoulder-yoke, which I can angle under the hull and give it a good scrub. \u00a0 I managed to get rid of the seaweed and barnacles, and now the boat is going a little more merrily.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m regretting that we applied so few coats of antifouling paint to the hull \u2013 we only applied 3 coats, when we should have made it 6. \u00a0 The more the better. \u00a0 We had expected the Southern Ocean to be too cold to allow the boat to overgrow. \u00a0 We had also thought the journey would be over in 100 days\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"slider-block slider-block--margin-b\">\n            <div class=\"slider-block__inner\">\n              <div class=\"slider-block__list

href=\"http:\/\/www.divepro.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.divepro.co.nz<\/a>\u00a0to dive underneath and clean it with a sponge. \u00a0\u00a0The boat was fully loaded, and I was scared of bringing it out of the water on a trailer (you have to take off the rudder, disconnect the autopilot, and\u00a0here\u00a0is always the risk of damaging something in the process). \u00a0We waited a month for favourable weather to set out, and damaging the hull would have meant a week of repairs and missing our window (which was only a day long). \u00a0 I will keep cleaning it with the brush when the weather permits.<\/p>\n<p>The ocean is dark and even of leaden colour. \u00a0There\u00a0is\u00a0frequent fog and dampness, which makes me think icebergs are nearby. \u00a0\u00a0But satellite images show that icebergs are south of 55 degrees latitude, and have stayed far to the South this season. \u00a0That is good; one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>Regards
