Hi Ho, Hi Ho

15 May 2011 | Wrangell Boatyard
It's off to work we go...

Sanding the 3 places under the keel which did not get sand-blasted, zinced, epoxyed and anti-fouled in Feb-Mar cause that's where the keel sat on blocks in the boatshed. Then Don did a spot sand-blast; Dot & I did the zinc coat and moved on to two dings on the cap rail showing rust -- same treatment. All 5 locations will follow up with epoxy when dry. 

Lots of things to un-wrap / un-tape / uncover; take advantage of the sun to dry things out and air the inside of the boat. 

The boys played fairly well today; Rusty not good at sharing yet. As for the new guy's name, we're leaning towards "Scupper"

Still no water, power or toilet, but there's a porta-potty about a 100 yards away and a hose bib there with what appears to be potable water. We may not get our electric up and running til we're back in the water. Showers are just down the street at the laundromat; as I said in the last blog: no problem.
