The boat has been moved

Rudy drove the boat down to the coast on June 26th. The trip was uneventful except for a flat tire on the trailer on the top of the Coquihala Pass. We had a friend Steve driving by on the opposite side of the highway that stopped to give us a hand - nice.



The other picture is looking over the West Vancouver Yacht Club where I have been fortunate in staying at, getting my boat put together, and taking care of last minute details. Can you see my boat? Tomorrow I am off to Gibsons.

Bottom antifouling is nearly complete

The boat now has two coats of Fiberglass Bottomkote Act paint and will get one more. I used this paint because I previously had a Bottomkote paint on the boat, this one is effective in salt water and is multi-seasonal, and it is an ablative paint which means "it washes away with use like a bar of soap constantly exposing fresh and effective biocide and will provide excellent antifouling protection throughout the boating season." Also, because it washes away, the paint does not buildup over time. I'm hoping to get two seasons out of it without taking the boat out of the water, though I will do some swimming/diving to check it out.
