First Trip in Meta Fog!

Mast Work

I removed most of the mast hardware and am repainting the mast before rebedding the hardware with ECK!, a galvanic corrosion & electrolysis preventer.

Meta Fog will Sail Again

Meta Fog has been resting in her cradle for a few years. But she's not decommissioned yet! My family and I are going to give this little cutter a new lease on life, and we hope to have her in the water before midsummer 2019!

For the first time in a few years, meta Fog is afloat.

The engine is running well and the oil and filter changed. Nearly all lights are leds. The exhaust hose is replaced and a few other hoses. The water and propane systems are working. The teak decks and grates are scrubbed.

The mast is down for a complete repaint job; the old paint doesn't have a proper under coating and is starting to flake off. I'm stripping it and then painting with interlux interprotect, then prime kote, then one part polyurethane, as recommended by interlux.

After that, I just have to clean out the fuel tank and get the head working, and we'll be ready for cruising!
