Wheeee my fun today.
Okay, so I had to go to Baltimore again today, so I actually left
early... after playing "dickey-doo" at the office for an hour or two,
and finding out that UPS lost our paychecks for up here, I went over to
the boatyard and played for 4 hours ('til dark when it got butt-ass cold).
Anyway, so I scraped barnacles. Oh joy. Wish I'd thought to bring a
stool to sit on... I am too fat to be squatting like that :-0 Anyway,
got a bunch done until I got cold and went and opened boat up and vegged
out. Did I say I thought scraping barnacles sucked? And oh joy of
joys... there is NO gelcoat under the old bottom paint (which pretty
much just came right off where I worked on it). And I mean *Nada*! I am
sure most of you have gone through this numerous before... just wanted
to bring you some amusement. :-Þ
So, next visit... stool, goggles, better gloves maybe some on and off
stuff... this blows :-0 Just think, next year I get to sand the hull and
paint IT as it's checked. Oh well, yard owner said it looks pretty good
besides the crustys...
Best, Marsh
