Brushes, Primer and Varnish


Things are getting close, but we are still working toward to the goal of getting the boat in the water for the Regatta! Last night we had quite the crew working. Libby and I were given little itty bitty brushes to paint primer on the hull. I didn't think anything of the size of the brush, however once Libby got there and was given her brush, a comment was made. Apparently we could have used bigger brushes, but we used what we had and giggled all the way. Actually, once we got started and began talking about the Jeep
Libby would like to buy and the VW GTI I test drove that
afternoon, the size of the brushes no longer mattered and the
boat began to take on a whole new look. Jack stopped by and
helped us finish priming and Libby fastened the deck to the
hull.

Curtis, a friend and co-worker from the Sailboat Shop came by and helped Schyler put a second coat of varnish on 75 pieces. It was a busy scene here at the house.

What's next? A million little things....

On another subject....here's the little turbo charged GTI I zipped around in this afternoon. Just LOVE the color! Tornado Red!!!
