Boatyard Blues!


We are stuck in the land of perpetual boat repairs! The bottom paint was completed and looking good..... then I noticed a small droplet  on the forward starboard bow. Picking revealed a paint enclosed water droplet. Not good. This is the same side that had the most damage especially in the bow. So looks like there was water still in the hull that did not drain past the forward bulkhead.

Removed new paint, drilled hole, struck water.



Opened her up, removed wet core and let dry




Dried out, filled in and ready to sand and lay up new glass.
The motor rebuild is complete but won't start. Got the mechanic scratching his head on that one. No Idea what will happen next or when we will get out of here. Guess that is what boatyard blues is all about!
