Yesterday the weather sunny so I cleaned the stainless on the transom. Rich cleaned the shaft and PYI seal in the aft stateroom closet.
Meanwhile they are cleaning off the old paint on the hull. It appears that the hull was not sanded sufficiently when we had bottom paint put on in Seattle. As a result the paint is flaking and peeling off. We have decided that the best course of action is to have all of the paint removed to up the barrier layer. Today there were two fellows sanding the paint off. What a job, especially in the rain.
Today Rich and I removed the existing galley sink drain plumbing. Rich cut the replacement hose and fitted it together while I cleaned the gunk out of the fitting and the sink drain. Since our drains in the galley are not perfectly vertical to the thruhull, there is a tendency for stuff to collect. So now was a good time with the boat out of the water to replace them. We will finish the job tomorrow.
We are hoping that the rain will clear up so they can paint. In the meantime we will do more boat chores.
Life in the boat yard goes on.
