The water is within site!

Putting on the hard antifouling

Lots of progress and it finally looks like we are going to get this boat floating again! The inside is still a huge mess but it is getting better. The outside is really coming along.The barrier coat is finished and the hard anti-foul is on, next is the ablative. The boots are being resealed and the engines are almost ready to fire up. I finished an extension for the bimini that will shade the helm. The new holding tank is installed. I have almost cleaned all the bright work ( that really made me feel better! at least something is clean.) Looks like we should get splashed sometime this week! We will need to test out all the repairs and then its a weather window and head south!

Drying between coats. the plastic is to protect it from the painting on the boat next to us.
We raised the water line about 3 inches. The ablative antifouling will be blue.



There are over 30 boats in the harbor for the annual Thanksgiving feast. Since we have family here and always have a big get together, we have never attended but plan to go to the cruisers exchange being held tomorrow morning. We have the vhs antenna that we took off the boat when we put up the new SSB antenna that we will take and see if anyone is interested in it.
