We have been busy prepping the decks for sanding and eventually paint. 42 years of grime, dirt, old paint, rusted fittings etc all need to come off.
Sanding day is going to be nasty!
Deck work continues..
The last time I was sailing…
It has been 5 years now since I was on a sailboat underway. It has actually been 5 years since I have been on any boat underway, as long as you do not count car ferries.
I consciously made a decision when we started the Akupara project that the next time I was sailing, it would be on Akupara.
Sometimes seems like that will never happen, but other times it seems like we are getting closer.
I am also going to sit down soon and add up all of the receipts and update the costs page. Scary thought but it needs to be done. I still reckon we are under our original estimate of $100000.00, so not too bad. A “brand new” 42 year old boat for 100k as opposed to a fully brand new boat for 450k.
Anyway, off to work on Akupara
