I Need A Shrink !

[strick]

Moving along VERY SLOWLY but some work has been accomplished over the last couple weeks.

making some lids for the fiberglass step down inserts






A layer of 1708 goes over the top of this



The inside of the box has core cell sides and a 1" ledger and the lids are then glassed to the box



Anchor locker bulk head is screwed in place. This will get trimmed out later on.



Window frames and tower have been sanded and primed with Awlgrip 545 primer...I have both gray and white primer in the shop.











Step down inserts are primed and faired with "quick fair" Only two sides will be visible the top and the side that
faces the walk way into the cabin. These little boxes are strong. They are made to stand on when underway. I will
have some kind of access hatch or deck plate to get to the inside so they can be screwed down and have storage inside.



Spraying Awlgrip paint. The Tower was a pain in the rear to spray...now I know why they invented powder coating.









Still waiting on my fuel tanks to be finished...the trailer is getting new surge brakes/master cylinder and receiver. Once the trailer is back I'm going to give it a quick coat of paint and new bunks lights etc....anyone got any idea what kind of paint to use on a steel trailer? The paint that is on it is in good shape but has faded.

We took a little trip last weekend up the Mendocino coast and spent the night at Timber cove Lodge. Some photos of
the area. I got in trouble when we got home because I had the camera set for low resolution pictures (needed for internet posting) and forgot to change it while we were there. The photos don't do justice to the beauty of the
Mendocino coast.



Lots of sheep on the ocean on Saturday. Sunday was a lot better.













On the way back home we stopped at the marina in Bodega bay... I like to check out the boats. We saw the usual west
coast stuff...

A commercial salmon boat



A Farallon



An ugly Ospray with a big flat butt



A Raddon craft



A Davis



California fishermans answer to the Live well...two garbage cans




We were about done looking at boats and walking back to the truck when something familiar caught my eye across the marina.



This boat was not here last year...I would have saw it. I like my tower better.





Still has the original seats



Her name was missing off her sides and the old gal sat quietly at rest as if she had nothing to prove to her younger and larger stable mates.
