Hard work

The repairs continue and the hull was open widely to fix it properly with balsa wood, fiberglass and then gelcoat.

As we decided to lift up the waterline, Greg was busy today with the special primer we need to apply above the old waterline...which needs 4 coats. The other primer was also put on today. It looks like Merlin is not too sure which colour "he" wants to wear.

 Check behing the genoa, there is a big spot light!

It is on all night long and is the meeting point of all the mosquitoes of Prickly Bay. Our nights are hitchy and our days sweaty!Still very hot here and we are missing our daily jumps in the water. However, we are able to use fresh water with a strong hose pipe so Merlin is having good showers nearly everyday!
