Boatyard – stevenjen

Another big rain storm. The boat is a wreck with drying laundry, soaked towels and wind blown items.

The rain today really messed up our flow. We were going to acetone the hull and put a layer of bottom paint on. We only have 5 days until we go in the slings (the travel lift that brings us to the water) and the work list is semi intense. We need all the good weather we can get. This whole year, so far, has been mostly bad weather. Either too cold or rainy to get much outdoor work done. Not to mention the emotional hit the bad weather brings. We’re much more sensitive on the boat. We really have to bust ass the next few days because more rain is coming later in the week. The major things left to do are the bottom paint, grinding 2 spots on the hull and laying down some fiberglass for extra hull strength, installing the cutlass bearing and stuffing box and adding the rudder hardware that should come any day now. Despite the rain today, we did wash down the hull and listed some items for sale on Amazon. Oh, and we stowed our MRE’s!

Cleaning and greasing the windlass. Almost ready to install.

Hauling items on deck for sorting and drying laundry. 6 days until we go in the slings!

Little Luke, your Aunt Jen loves you so much. Your perfect!

Windlass is in good shape. Ordered new rudder hardware. Silicone bronze.
