Hardly had any time this weekend to work on the boat – some personal commitments and work emergencies took priority. I also forgot the camera, so no exciting pictures of sanding in progress.. 😉
We’re going to consider the deck finished unless for some reason it looks horrific once the primer is on. Rotated the float on its side and applied the first layer of fairing compound with the notched trowel.

I didn’t expect to do any boat work today, but at the last minute this afternoon I found out I needed to have something for work done this weekend… the problem was that what I needed was still on the other side of the country. A quick call and some haggling got it shipped overnight for me to spend Saturday (and Sunday if things don’t go well) working on it. To make up for it, I cut out of work a few hours early, missed traffic, and headed down to try and get some work done on the boat.

Nothing too exciting this weekend. Dad and I spent a few hours playing duelling sanders (after I went and bought a second orbital sander). Took a few pictures… Overlaps actually look worse in the picture than in person (most likely due to flash and shadows). Hopefully won’t take too much fairing compound.
