New Bern, NC

 The rain moved out overnight and we had a glorious cool fall day.  Got a good bit accomplished.  

Prepped the saildrives for paint.  I forgot to snap a photo after paint was applied, but you get the idea.  I'll do several coats of special copper-free paint (Trilux 33).

 

The fiberglass repair to the keel is almost done.  I'm not sure how many layers of fiberglass were laid up, but it was alot!  The area is much bigger than expected because Duane found that the area had been repaired before and the material was not sound.  He ground it all out and replaced with new West System fiberglass.

 

 

 

And the spots along the hull where we had to sand down to fiberglass (due to a blister or imperfection) had to be filled with epoxy.  We'll sand these smooth tomorrow.
