After taking my daughter for a Saturday matinee and stuffing our faces with popcorn and candy, I decided to spend a few hours continuing the sanding of the bottom. On October 2, I completed sanding the port side bottom with my 5" VS random orbital sander and 11 60-grit disks. Today, I continued with the starboard side bottom acheiving roughly half of this side. My focus at the moment is taking all of the swirl marks out which were caused by my Craftsman 6" power sander and 40-grit disks...and a beginner's technique. I must admit, however, my technique steadily improved as my time spent in full Tyvek increased! I have another afternoon in order to complete the starboard side, and then I will begin mixing up batches of epoxy for the fairing of the bottom.
