Once again Mark got a call for a short job. The cruising kitty is getting pretty low so he jumped on it. The job was from Seattle to San Francisco light boat. Pick up a barge in SF and head back to Coos Bay, Oregon. The tug, barge and the rest of the crew will be staying in Coos bay for a few months doing support work for a dredging project there.
Meanwhile Pauline held down the fort here in Ensenada and once able began scraping the varnish off of the forward cap rails. Mark returned late on the 24th and began helping her on the 25th.
It’s now the 28th and we have the four coats on that we wanted before the yard started patching the blisters that we were waiting to dry. We also mounted our new dodger top and chimney. The paint job and anti skid on the coach roof came out well as did the paint work on the inside of the gunnels.

| We finally have some non skid on the very top as well. This has always been a hazard when reefing. Don’t mind the junk on the deck. We were working. |

The new hard top for the dodger. Pauline will make the new canvas once we are back in the water.
