DIY - THE WORK ON THE BOAT CONTINUES

The very long and very cold winter that Manitoba experienced this year opened up a lot of small cracks in the fibre glass of the boats super structure.   Those all have to be filled before we paint this year.  We don't want moisture getting in there. 
 
 
 Once the body filler is applied, it all has to be sanded, then painted. 
 
 
 
 And with the poplar trees starting to drop seeds everywhere we will probably have to tarp everything over as we paint.  Otherwise we will have a very fuzzy boat. 
 
 
Dan is re-installing the top of the damaged bow pulpit. 
 
 
And I am busy sanding, sanding, sanding.   And flushing our water system of anti-freeze.  And Ken has the hull just about ready for painting. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WE STARTED OUT BEHIND SCHEDULE THIS YEAR, BUT IT'S COMING ALONG
