The worst of the work on Sea Soul is behind us. We spent last weekend washing the scum off the hulls, and then waxing then to a mirror shine.
Ed is now working at sanding/painting the sail drives then changing the zincs and the boat yard is sanding/painting the hull bottom. We repaired two thru-hull valves that were broken, but that is all we could come up with that needed repairing. She should be back in the water within days to live a life of leisure waiting for new owners. We do plan to continue to care for her and take her for sailing runs when we can. She is such a fun, nimble sailing vessel, and we want to enjoy sailing her EMPTY. She gained several inches of waterline when I got finished taking our belongings off. She should be a lot of fun to sail, and using her will keep her in good shape until someone else falls in love with her.
