Blacking day 2

This was tough - did the second coat on the boat sides leaving the counter and v bottom to black. As the boat is leaning to starboard I started with the port side. I used a brush but this proved slow, awkward and painful (contortionary). I am no michaelangelo,but, can appreciate the artists efforts painting upside down for ages. Mind you oil paint is easier to use than bitumen! The starboard side proved impossible to do with a brush - not enough space to reach, it so I used a roller - this didn't give a full even coverage and some patches could not be reached, but, by tea time I didn't care anymore. 
Just need to sort the detatched anodes out now.
