The work continues back on the dock

She's back floating! Not only is she floating, she is sitting about 4" higher in the water with the old bottom paint gone. Each can of bottom paint weights about 25lbs, forty years of layers and the weight adds up.

It was a beautiful day in Vancouver. Perfect for working on your boat.

Paul has been busy cleaning the old sealant and dirt from the combing around the cockpit preparing for the trim and handrail to be reinstalled early this week. The front cabin trim is ready to go and she should be water tight and trimmed out before the rains start for the winter.

If you click on this picture you will see the oxidation that was all over SSN. This is the last area to be cut and polished. We were in the sandbox on the hardstand, one of two areas in the boatyard that isn't paved. Getting to the transom was impossible. Having this picture will help illustrate the difference achieved overall.

She's a little beauty! Almost ready to serve Captain Paul and his buds.
