Reggie, The
Sandman, is bringing the dream to life.
(still haven't figured out how to keep the pictures from rotating when importing to the blog)
Prepping the hull has
been a major job, but we are almost ready to start painting. The prep and paint will take at least 14
complete passes over the hull. All of the
prep work has fallen to Reggie. Barbara piddles along with little jobs and
tries not to interfere with his work. Never happens. He always has to lend a
hand.
Thankfully the rub
rail removal was relatively painless. We were concerned about removing the
machine screws and their nuts thanks to layers of paint on the nuts and tight
spots, etc., but had little difficulty. After
prying the old teak off in sections, old sealant/adhesive scraped off fairly
easily. About 70 holes were first
countersunk to give a larger clean contact area and then filled with thickened
epoxy. The decision has been made to not
replace the rub rail.
Occasional sundowners
and visits from friends keep us from becoming jaded. Anyone is welcome to come distract us for a
while!
