It’s been a much different summer than usual, there’s no doubt of that. I haven’t put in many miles, done a ton of work on the boat (and it’s continuing) and I’ve found a couple of lovely mooring locations that I might have to come back to in the future.

So, mostly it’s been chipping, sanding, and painting. I’ve done the entire bow area (“cratch”) including non-skid tape, the entire roof and upper gunnels, the walking gunnels along each side and added new non-skid tape there too. I’m presently working on the aft deck, it’s quite rusty under a lot of paint so will take some work… Oh, also repainted the engine room.

Left to do? After the aft deck I’ll be resealing the windows, fixing my diesel furnace (just needs flushing I think), finishing off some outside trim enamel and adding more coats of spray anti-rust in certain areas. Shouldn’t take too long if the weather cooperates.

Bored yet? Well, here’s some pictures to (hopefully) interest you…
