We went out to the hangar to work on the boat on Friday.
Here's Dan unloading all the tools he is going to need for this weekend's projects
As I'm sure everyone is aware, it was very cold on Friday. We have an indoor/outdoor thermometer on board and of course the outside temperature was really the inside of the hangar. So, it took a long time to get the chill off of the boat. We finally got it up to kinda room temperature by bed time on Friday, but the bedding was still very cold.
Kevin Scott's boat is right in front of ours and I was surprised to see that he has changed the name on his boat. He probably did it some time this summer, but I guess we haven't followed him in or out of the harbour during the summer so I wasn't aware of the change. Nice choice Kevin. Much nicer than the old name.
We have a few situations where moisture has gotten under the fiberglass, and into the plywood underneath, so we have to cut out the bad spots and replace and repair them.
It's a matter of cutting it back until you find solid wood and rebuild from there.
Once that is done then it's, seal up where the water was penetrating, then replace the plywood, re fiber glass then repaint. Oh, well, that's part of owning an old boat.
