Further 48

Friday

In a landmark day, I spray-applied three coats of epoxy high-build primer over the deck areas, starting with the inboard portions of the coachroof and cockpit, which areas I had to access from the nearby sidedecks, and then moving on to the main decks, cabin trunk, toerails, loose hatches and sea hood, and upper reaches of the hull-deck joint above the topsides.
