3rd Month Week 9
But wait you say, where is week 8. Week 8 was somewhat of a bust, shot the first coat of primer and had to wait a day for it to get hard. Then more sanding, then more filling as more defects were revealed. Very hard to work around on other projects. By the end of the week I was pretty wound up. Week nine was much better, in addition to the deck prep other things were getting done again. We had to take a rain day but at the end of the week the final primer coat was on.
In addition to the deck prep, hull sanding commenced. The whole hull was sanded and started grinding out some of the gelcoat cracks.

Sanding on the exterior wood also commenced. When the deck is finished stuff can go back on the boat.
