Finally, the restoration of Lightning #39 has begun!! On a very cold Sunday afternoon we removed the shrink wrap , removed all the parts and began scrapping off all the old blue paint. Unfortunately, there was some damage at the bow that bummed Schyler out. It was very exciting to finally see what this bo
at looked like under all that shrink wrap (since I had no clue!) and a wee scary to see what I got into! We have lots of hard work ahead of us before this summer's 70th Lightning Regatta, but we
will do it! And, thank God someone left a bottle of Blue before shrink wrapping the boat! Is anyone truly surprised???

The next step? Warmer weather so that we can strip off all the remaining paint!

Hi guys, I am very envious that you will always have the most awesome photos on the blog spots. Hopefully we will be in some! Ha Ha

Our first and perhaps ONLY responders! The Lightning is our first step to meeting you on the water in the big blue sea, where we can both live the dream. I will bring my cameras!
Hey! What a great journey you guys are on. I will be by with moral and liquid support and maybe a scrapper. What happened to the bow? "Ain't no hill for a climber" as Libby would say!
Haaaaaaay! Looks like you got a pretty big bow job ahead of you. Good luck with that.
