Arrived at Smith's around 1230. Removed a bit of residual water from the bilge...perhaps as much as half of the capacity of the shop vac.

No water on the port shelf above the v-berth, forward of the first chainplate. No water in the hanging locker.

Set the fan in the companionway, with the forward hatch open, to air the boat while I worked on the bottom.

Began this season's longboarding using a 24" Dura-Gold Longboard with 120grit Dura-Gold Roll Sandpaper . Covered perhaps one-quarter of the port side in 90 minutes. Most effective during first half-hour. Hard work. Noticeable amount of sweat dripping from Full Face Respirator when removed. Wrists and backs of gloves saturated. Despite wearing a t-shirt and jeans under the Tyvek suit.

Note: the bottom colors are, from the outermost inward:

  1. red: two coats Trinidad Pro , each 2mil thick, 4mill total.
  2. white: one coat Petit Protect , 4mil thick.
  3. gray: one coat Petit Protect , 4mil thick.
  4. dark gray: resin applied to the hull as a barrier coat some time in the past.
