Must get started painting in the next 15 minutes. Working on the rudder in a tent near the boat. Will have to hang the rudder in the rain. Not ideal at all. Must install 2 thru hulls and stuffing box this morning. Also need to attach the trim tab, find the zinc and coupling. Not going to make the 8am launch. Hoping the yard will give us a few more hours. Frustrated and still exhausted.

Ugh

Got about half of our list done. Rained out. Hoping the epoxy and paint cure tonight. Still a few hours of work for tomorrow before we launch. Filthy and too exhausted to care.

Preparing an old thru hull hole for filling.

It took forever just to get to the inside of it.

Barometer’s reading 1011 here. Maybe most of that will go north of us.

Too tired to post much. Fighting a cold. Lots to do tomorrow.

Had a full day. Rudder is epoxied. Bottom paint is on. Rain is coming in less than 24 hours. Still launching Monday morning.

Rudder is coming along finally. One coat of paint on the keel. Break time.

Launching Monday. Scraping the keel now. The sling strap slid last night taking away some of the paint :(
