Both busily restoring the paintwork, and hopefully giving it a new coat afterwards.

A thick coat of paint too Pamela. The sea air is so corrosive.

Probably a climb to get up there, but well worth the trouble.

Good candid of the two gentlemen at work. The repaint looks overdue with all the rust.

Could take them a while judging by the amount of rust and flakey paint present.
