Arrived at Smith's. The boat is too wet from the rain yesterday and last night which combined with the marginal temperature, barely 50*, resulted in my deciding not to attempt to apply filler. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday seems to prevent filling, as well.
Drove to Annapolis to handle a number of tasks that have been waiting for such a day.
- Bought particle filters for the Full Face Respirator
. One box, a three day supply, from HomeDepot in Aspen Hill yesterday and one box from one Annapolis store, and two boxes from another.
- Bought Permatex Muffler & Tailpipe Sealer from PepBoys Annapolis for reassembling the exhaust system.
- Bought FSR
for removing the staining of the topsides and 3/4" potable water hose for the bilge pump from Bacon's.
- Metal Craft has closed. Had hoped to get the rudderhead and tillerhead machined there.
- Stopped at the Eastport post office to check the Alberg 30 Association box.
- Picked up the repaired Elliott/Pattison Sailmakers
spinnaker from Ullman Sails Annapolis. A panel had been ripped in last year's NOOD, on the first day.
