Dry Dock 2014/2015




Hello

The boat was pulled from the water this past Saturday with the following tasks in mind:
Paint the bottom 
PropSpeed on the propeller and shaft
Polish the hull
Paint the three stripes

So far everything is going according to plan, but I noticed a hairline crack in the filler around the hull/keel joint do I ground it all out and will replace it with thickened epoxy.  I also decided to restore all of the teak, including the swim ladder and pulpit.

On the "hard"

Keel stripped back. 3M 5200 along the seam, red oxide primer on the bare lead. 


Because of the pace I'm moving, most of these photos will be "after". Simply no time to stop, and I'm simply too filthy to reach for my camera. 

UPDATE 10/01/15

Relaunch!!  Two weeks of toil:







I appealed to Poseiden to welcome Wireless with some Johnny Walker Red (we shared it!). 

So pleased to be back on the water!!
