Log of Alberg 30 #262 on 20 April 2022

• Burnished (wet sanded) the hull back to the rudder using 320 grit. Not as fair as I would have liked. Believe that its a meaningful improvement. Would have been better if the weather had allowed two more coats of Trinidad Pro so that I could have burnished more aggressively. As it is, mananged to expose a bit of Petit Protect (white) on the starboard side near the bottom of the keel about halfway back.
• After the boat was lifted, painted the two sections that where the blocks were and the bit of exposed Petit Protect .
• During the trip back to Yacht Haven Annapolis, stopped several times to adjust the stuffing box. Loosened the gland each time. The box was getting a bit warm...as much as 100*.
• Done per what Maine Sail has written (old version)

Next haulout, longboard hull with 120 grit till all lows are removed or Petit Protect is removed on all sides of a hollow. Fill such hollows with TotalFair using a metal putty knife, not the plastic item provided by the manufacturer. Longboard again with 120 grit till all of the area is evenly sanded.

The photo below was taken after burnishing the area above and either side of the bow jackstand. The rest of the hull was burnished later.
In the photo below, the areas of uniform color are smooth to the touch due to the 320 grit sandpaper. Each darker spot is a low. The longer, darker ballon shaped spots are water droplets.
Focus on the larger flaw located directly above the bow jackstand about two-thirds of the way up towards the waterline. Compare with the same spot on 2022-04-10, 2022-04-11, 2022-04-12, and 2022-04-13.
The second photo is a closeup shot of the same flaw.
