The name of the game today was just as you see above. Many more layers of glass needed to be applied and following that, the epoxy barrier needed to be applied to the patch area and the spots under the jack stands. But Kurt The ADD Man decided to rip out the nasty plywood under the instruments in the cockpit. This resulted in a lovely couple of holes....
ut no worries, Kurt found a piece of starboard that he installed over the yucky holes and then put the instruments back in. One of those “temporary” fixes that will probably remain for the next 20 years or so...
Good ‘ol Mikey came to the rescue in the afternoon (sans gloves, like a “real man”) to play with some glass and resin.
The patch is starting to look good and thick.
Kurt was hard at work doing the millions of piddly projects that needed to be done....GPS installation, nasty diesel fuel extraction from the tank, fuel filter(s), raw water strainer and the list goes on. We end the day with a fabulous lobster dinner right at the boatyard with Mikey and YaYa along with John and Mimi from Irish Ayes. After dinner, it is the opening ceremonies for the Olympics, and most go in to watch....but I know if we are to launch in the AM, I had better get to work finishing the epoxy over the patch site. So, at 11:30, I finally finish with many less brain cells and go up to bed upside down in the V-Berth.cf
