Yup, we’re on the hard and still working.  It’s the price we pay for having as much fun as we do and even here on the hard we’re having fun socializing with everyone else in the marina and working on their boats.  Just today I had some time that I didn’t know what to do with – so what to do?  I know, I’ll walk across the yard and pester Bob and Linda on Bright Angel.   😉   So, there’s always something to do!

Yup, we hauled. Didn't plan to but there was a "bloom" of barnacles that we needed to take care of.

Yipes. Just six months ago we were clean. Good thing we hauled. It took four hours to scrap these off.

We've had a great weather window to varnish and this is me putting on the last coat on the "new" wood. Now it's protected and when the rain that's predicted for the next few days is over, I'll put two coats on last year's varnish and we'll be done.

We've got the scaffolding going for Ann to polish the hull. Not fun, but beats doing it from the dinghy!

Hopefully we’ll get the bottom paint started on Monday.  We’re having Pacific Gloss do it.  They know what they are doing and I don’t.  Pretty simple, huh?
