Sunny weather is back

10 May 2009
and the mets says it will last for most of next week at least. Thats splendid news, and we should be able to finish the paintjob during that time...


Most of thsi day was spent wetsanding all the deck and the cockpit between the 2 coats of primer and the 2-part polyurethane paint that wil finish it off. After washing it with a hose, I also painted the keel with the second coat of epoxi primer. After several turns of putty/sanding/putty etcetera.

Since this is my birthday, we celebrated at the same restaurant where we had our first meal together in Sweden after Isabelle first arrived here almost a year and a half ago.

Very nice when your entire body is aching from all this monotonous work.
