Just kidding when I said pack up the tools... There's heaps more work to b done....
The original plan was to have the boat (I really need a name for her) back in the water on June 27th, but now looks like it will b staying on the hard for a couple more months.
Due to a few storms and really high humidity, work on the hull was slightly delayed. Luckily now the weather is just back to dry and hot the work has continued.
The yard took the generator away so Hendo and Eddie had to do the last hull pre-paint prep sanding by hand.
The painting/mixing process as explained to me by Hendo
"3 parts big tin, 1 part small tin, 20-25% of the mix green tin (that makes no sense I know....). Stir the shit out of it, pour into paint tray and roll on hull while copping paint all over yourself and in your beard"
Unfortunately I am not there to observe this intricate process but am kept well informed by email. She looks a beauty all white.
I have been told, 'Only one coat of primer, one coat of black, two coats of red and four sands in between and her hull will be done...'
