Bottom Done

While the Cap'n installed the name on her, I started rolling the bottom paint. I sure am glad that it only took 1 1/2 cans to do 1, thick coat on her underbelly. Especially since it costs $195.oo a gallon, for the kind we used. There was another brand for $239.oo a gallon. Bottom paint contains copper, for the electrolysis, that keeps the critters from hitching a ride. Barnacles are not choosy on where they attach. Plus we were finished with the rudder, so we jumped on it. We also ordered the paint for the Sheer Stripe, which is the strip just below the Cap Rail, and just above the Rub Rail. She looks fabulous.
   We also found out that there is no sanding, painting, or teaking on the water. So it looks like we need to do the whole outside first, before  she goes in the water. Well it sure is a good thing I don't have nothing but time. Bunkmate
