Building an Outboard Trawler - July 23rd 2022 -

I was out of town for a week and mainly spent my time helping myself to Mom's meals, wine, deserts and snacks. Got to visit with Gerry and Mike too!

I prepped her front steps for a 'redo' by chipping all the loose surface material with a hammer and cleaning it all with a pressure washer. Then Mike and I resurfaced them with 'Top-n-Bond' cement.

Boat Work

Donna spent the week painting. She scrubbied, sanded and put a coat of paint on the chain locker.

Then another coat.

It looks great!

In preparation for the final finish on the walls and bulkheads, she patched a bunch of screw holes.

Donna also worked with a rasp to round off the outside corner where the two walls of the head meet.

She also managed to get three coats of paint on the cabin sole.

It looks great! What a lot of boat work done!

Maybe I should go away more often :)
