Restoration Work Resumes: Sanding!


It seems like forever since I have been able to work on the boat.  Well, I must admit that I have not been overly motivated in the past few months, and no doubt missed out on great working weather.  It'll be hot soon here in Florida - very hot! - and I am sure I'll regret not taking advantage of Florida's winter months.  

I resumed bottom sanding on the 11th of April, and was able to finish hand-sanding the bottom over the next two days.  I used sheets of 80-grit paper, and worked the initial fairing compound down to a smooth surface.  There are places on the bottom that will require additional fairing compound, so I will get those during the next application.  The picture shows the port bottom, with the first round of fairing and sanding almost complete.
