Biglew thanks for the link

Yesterday I used some glass to fill in the holes on the transom. Prior I used some thickened epoxy and wood dowels and I went to finsh with glass prior to sand.
I mixed according to directions and applyed some cut pieces of cloth. Well it was cold here last night (mid 30's) and today I went out to inspect and it was still tacky. I then placed a light next to it and within 30 mins it was now dry to the touch.
This cold weather sucks and really hampers the little progress I am able to get done. I can just imagine the things you guys up north were it really gets cold have to go thourgh. But they say that by the weekend it's back up to the 80's

Plus putting them down for months at a time seems to take greater toll than the year round use of the warmer/transient boats does at least to me

If you want you can get the boat down here and I would be glad to make sure it does not stay idle all those months

Fortunately I have some Broward county homing pigeons that I made Under Armour for. So I Strapped their little feet around the steering wheel. I just put her back in the water, got her out past the walrus and polar bears on the icebergs. Set her adrift you should see her in a few weeks. Don't worry I painted "jorgeinmiami" down both sides and rebel flag flying off the console so I'm sure you'll get it...lol

I'll keep an eye out for it as it passes by Hatteras.

When ya see it don't worry about all those valvestems drilled every three sq. feet that's just the tricky flotation system I thought of "fix o flat", were gonna fix the ocean flat around the cape in January...there's one for the bar... Uncleboo I think the piegon might even try to fly the boat through Oregon inlet and out Pamlico. Anyway just cut the valvestems flush for me to help aerodynamics for the rest of the trip it Should be dry by then. Again don't worry I did the flotation right, I worked front to back and side to side. Oh one last thing don't cut the one on the fuel cap that's also part of the flotation I filled with Hydrogen don't worry not much just until the noise stopped, rtv and a bolt in the vent so no worries about anything.
