Tri light on top of mast no longer works, nor do steaming, deck or strobe lights, nor do the nav lights on the pulpit – they all got smashed up 7 months ago, only one (of the 2) red over red ‘not under command’ lights work on the mast & one of the stern lights on the pulpit still works

Spent the last 2.5 hours scrubbing the deck, 3/4 done getting black weed slime off the deck. Not much wind.
Job done, most big barnacles off. Hard to pull off than last time (7 months ago same region). I was not keen to stay too long in the water because of risk of a shark.
