Progress

Its been really hard finding the time and motivation to go to the boat this autumn. We have been a couple of times and achieved:
  • drilling out and filling the stem post
  • removing the rotten rear starboard bulwark. Found some rot in the top hull plank too
  • drilling out the old depth transducer
  • putting on a coat of underwater primer
Today, Alison went up there and met with Paul Drake, recommended by Keith and Julie. He's going to use some Siberian larch to repair the popped and rotten planks that have been letting all the water in. Hopefully that will be done by Christmas.
