I began the long slog toward getting things back together this week, including touching up and recoating brightwork damaged in the prep and painting process, re-caulking portlights and re-installing fasteners for all the canvas work.  I also took care of several other minor things that had to be done to get things back together.  There is still a great deal more to do, not even counting gelcoating the nonskid on the deck.  But progress is steady, despite delays and setbacks from back pain and rescuing damsels in distress.

It was a very busy week, but a lot got done.  I made a bit more progress on the last bits of trim for the aft cabin, Hector finished the cockpit enclosure, Ron made the patterns for the new aft cabin berth cushions, I finished the new cockpit tabletop, and Jordan and I did the first round of sanding all the teak in the cockpit/doghouse.

With the first outrigger race fast approaching, I’ve also been paddling hard five days a week.  No wonder I’m beat!  I guess part two of the varnishing discourse can wait....
