It's July 18, 2007 and we have been making progress! Marty has the hull all scrape and sanded and Walt is in the process of grinding off the gelcoat. He is thinking that he will also have to grind the next layer off to get down to the bottom of the blisters, instead of grinding each individual blister, since there are literally thousands, too many to count!
The first picture is early 6:30 am in the boatyard. With the heat soaring to the high 80's up to 102 degrees, we start early, quit around 1pm, then return after 6pm till dark. You can see the grinding going well. We have also taken out all the thru-hull fittings getting ready to replace them with new valves. Today we had rain so could not grind, but worked on dismanteling the forepeak to install new holding and water tanks. Back to Dallas to see people, get more supplies and pick up our Grandson, Julian. Julian will help us all next week! (in between trips to the Zoo, OMSI, and swimming) Hi Julian!!
