Going in the water today!
We will launch the boat today and finish her off in the water. 35 years ago she was laid up and today she will finally float.....!

Things have been crazy what with trying to get everything ready to put the boat in the water. The past couple of weeks have been taken up with exterior wood finishing and cetol application....

Topsides painted
Yesterday we shot the first coat of Interlux Perfection on the topsides. It came out pretty good. Today the second coat went on.
The reason for the tent is that the Port Captain did not want to let us spray - someone painted their boat and ten cars last time he allowed it! What a nightmare. We told him we would pay for any cars that inadvertently got sprayed and then erected the tent in the hope that the overspray would be minimal....so far no irate Mercedes Benz driver has sought us out.
Mark Rogers Painting did the spraying. After trying twice ourselves and failing to paint the deck, Mark was a Godsend.
