droping the rudder
Well
I was NOT looking forward to this as i do confined entry repairs for a living and the quadrant on the 29 is really freaking stand on your head confined
Through some random act of kindness the quadrant was bronze and fully split and after 40 years it came apart like it was put on last week :cool:
I really did not want o dig a hole in my concrete driveway and was getting nervous BUT it cleared by 1" :laugher

Well that as a LOT of work with a bunch of detail work LEFT in drilling and epoxy sealing the core
I tried getting in the anchor locker to do some tape work and got STUCK Sunday :eek:
The thought of somebody cutting cutting up my work was quite the motivator :D
Tonight i used the laminate trimmer to cut the core were it overlapped on the hatch now i just have to brush on a few coats to seal it when i drill and pot the about 40 hardware holes:rolleyes:

Earl and other slowdowns
Well
I got sick on Monday Aug 30 and the temp went up to 100 degrees So i was just not up to any upside down fiberglass work this week
With the threat of Earl and dealing with the town about the paint tarp setup i just spent 3 hours on Thursday taking down the frame and putting regular tarps back one the boat
Of coarse we had ZERO rain and about as much wind BUT it was better than dealing with a real hurricane as we have been through many direct hits over the last 40 years i have lived here
On Monday labor day i plan on putting up the tarps a different way that will allow me to try and get the hull paint done Or at least the primer as we seem to have a good run of weather coming
