Arrived at Smith's around 1430. Removed batteries. Both read 12.25v on the Fluke volt-ohm-meter. Quite suprised. Removed the ABC123 15 amp battery charger charger as well. Will charge the batteries at home to see what their state might be.

No meaningful water in the bilge, just in the "sump".

Continued this season's longboarding using a 24" Dura-Gold Longboard with 80grit Dura-Gold Roll Sandpaper . Worked on the last section of the hull on both starboard and port sides. Worked the bottom 1' of the port side of the keel from the rudder shoe forward along the keel up to the waterline. Worked the starboard side from back to the foremost jackstand. As per routine, wearing Full Face Respirator , gloves with t-shirt and jeans under the Tyvek suit.

After reaching the rudder shoe, returned to the bow. Longboarded the port side of the cutaway keel from the bow boat stand to the turn of the keel.

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.
