A Day of Boatbuilding Weather at Last

After three days of fog, mist and rain, today was chilly and windy, but dry enough for painting. Tomorrow may be too cold for it.

I got a coat of light green paint on the starboard side of the interior and deck, and a coat of white on the topsides all around. She is starting to look more like a boat than a project.



Still to do: Numerous pinholes in the the deck need filling, followed by sanding and another coat of paint. The bottom inside could use another coat, too. The rub rails can go on now. They and the trim inside take a darker shade of green paint. The bottom paint along the lower edge of the topsides needs another coat of paint, just to cover up the streaks of green left by last week's paint failure.
