Arrived at Smith's around 1330. Removed about seven gallons of water from the bilge, assuming one gallon per load in the shopvac..

Put the electrical coil heater in the v-berth to warm and dry the boat while longboarding.

Continued this season's longboarding using a 24" Dura-Gold Longboard with 120grit Dura-Gold Roll Sandpaper . Covered from the knotmeter aft to the rudder shoe and the starboard scupper, somewhat more than one-quarter of the starboard side in 90 minutes. As per routine, wearing Full Face Respirator , gloves with t-shirt and jeans under the Tyvek suit. For the width of the longboard, immediately forward of the starboard scupper, used 80grit Dura-Gold Roll Sandpaper to see what the difference would be. Guessing that 80grit removes material faster. Did not notice a significant difference, but it was the last section of the day and I may have been insensitive to the difference.

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.
