Today started with everyone scraping more paint off the boat. Connie and Rachel worked along the rails on the outside of the boat, while Justin, Cole and Andy scraped paint throughout the inside hull and cabin areas. This was a long and tedious process, but is very important to the quality of the finished boat, shown through the sanding on the outside hull, which is now ready for paint.
The final pieces of exterior hardware were also taken off today, the rudder mounts as well as the last hanger on the hull.
Andrew is seen here scraping the inside of the cabin, getting all the loose paint off the side walls ready for sanding and paint nex
t week. You can also see that we removed the rear door and wall which will be replaced with new wood and a new look soon. Corin and Chris worked together to design an outline for the new single piece of wood that will cover the cabin and house the door for entry to this shelter from the rough seas we will be encountering on our trips. Andrew said that by the time he is done working on the cabin, we will all stay protected from the pirates we will surely see while sailing on Watauga Lake.
