[MHml] Bottom paint for fresh and salt

[Arjan Bok]

Mike,

Not really any news, I launched last August but the boat was not complete
yet. About 4 weeks ago I finally started putting the sails up and take her
out. It has all been light air sailing so far but she sails real nice.
I hope to have all the work more or less wrapped up in a couple of months.
