Progress

We have not posted in a while. It is not because there isn’t anything happening. Just the opposite.

Pictures are hard because of the tenting they have put around the boat.  We did manage to get these.  

We finished stripping the gunnels back and they are ready for glassing.  We have started taking the old teak off of the coach roof.  About half done there.  We were toying with putting fake teak back there to replace the paper thin old stuff but costs have caught up with us and we will probably just reenforce with glass and go non skid.  The quote for this fits in our budget.

Below deck, they finished with the blisters on the topsides and sprayed the barrier coat.  They are now doing the fairing.  Below the waterline we still have a little drying out going on but the majority seems pretty good.  There are a couple of spots that will need to be opened again and of course we need to wait a little longer for the ones we know are still damp.  They have begun repairing the bottom of the keel and have glassed the accessible spots.  They will lift the boat and shift all the blocking within the next few days.  This will allow them to finish.  

We missed the picture of them spraying the first white barrier coat.  They are now using the red fairing material to find and fix all of the blemishes.
