No real solid blocks of time to work on the boat, just a an hour here and there. I finished sanding the window trims and exterior handrails. I taped off all adjoining areas and will now look for a 7 day window where schedule and weather will allow varnishing.
Varnish has arrived and now I am waiting the window. I also ordered the
fuses for the mega blocks on the ACR and two more blocks and fuses for
the battery banks. 100A on the ACR 125A on the batteries.
I placed all of the varnished teak items back on the boat some of the
hinges mounted but a lot more screws are required. I mounted the forward
hatch and set the hinge in butyle tape top and bottom and added an
interior gasket. The Lexan is still continuing to crack so it looks
like I will have to redo that whole operation. I will wait on that.
Once the rails and windows are varnished then I just have to paint the cockpit. As always I am learning as I go. To do it all over again i would have removed the all of the windows and rails to be finished off the boat. I just couldn't bring my self to tear it down anymore. I just wanted to make forward progress. lets hope that doesn't come back to bite me too bad. ie, leaking windows and toe rails. Sounds simple enough.
