Well, almost done. Kirby Paint Company sent me a quart of Seattle Grey that, if anything is even closer to the Interlux color. Decks painted last Sunday. Need to paint the bridge deck bulkhead and of course the hatch still needs to be worked on but close enough. Sjogin goes back in tomorrow and I’ll rig her Friday.
Finished (mostly) with painting. The spars are sanded and varnished and ready to go. Hope to be sailing by next weekend (and have the first fire of the new off-season).
Crisp waterline. Bottom painted and the bilges filled with a few buckets of Bay water to start the swelling process.
Late shift. Last job is to polish and mount the letters.
Took a break Saturday and went out with the Beatons to watch the first race of the A-Cat Worlds which was won by Mary Ann. She’s one of the originals, rebuilt by Benjamin River Marine in Maine in the mid 80’s. Though not usually a contender she did real well in this race.
Mary Ann! in the lead. Tight rounding.
Spy just ahead of Mary Ann. Fog moving in.
Spy dialed in.
