Ready to lift...
Up she comes...
Big boy's toy!
Surprise! Freshwater mussels - four inches thick in places!
The result of five years moored on the Thames

Cleaning the baseplate with a pressure-washer

Half a ton of mussels - field day for the birds later...
Mussels seem to like anodes :-)
Cleaned up and off to the hard-standing
Ready for proper cleaning and blacking...
