Yard Week Day 2

Hello again.  It's that time of the day, the sun has gone down, we've packed up all our tools, and have finished working for the day.  It was pretty productive:  finished sanding the bottom and self-steering rudder, put in new through hull for depth sounder/speed log, replaced seacock for head discharge (very important!), fiberglassed blisters on rudder, barrier coated area on the hull around the shaft that we had to fill with west system, and rinsed all the dust away.

I'm pretty happy that the sanding is over with, and I really am starting to believe this boat will be looking good soon.  Tomorrow we have to pick up some specially ordered stainless steel bolts for the zinc anode mounted to the hull near the shaft and prop, and start painting (the easy part)!  With any luck we just might be able to get splashed back in the water on Monday, so fingers crossed for that.

Matt's Mom stopped by earlier and snapped a few photos of us in the middle of it, as you can see, we pretty much have our hands full:
