Ok, so yesterday I said I got the final coat of epoxy down and that today I would be priming.... No such luck... I started sanding at daybreak and at noon I realized that I needed to put one more epoxy coat on a few places...
Oh well, I suppose it is better that the hull is perfect BEFORE the bottom paint goes on... I hope other than maintenance, we will get 4 or 5 years out of this bottom job before we have to go through this again...
At the end of work today I installed the cheek blocks on the main and the mizzen masts for the lazy jack system for our new Mack Pack sail covers. I also installed the halyard block on the main mast for the inner forestay...
All in all, not a bad day....
