Ready to launch on July 7, 2009 with fresh bottom paint and bright new zincs and hull.

John pulled her up yesterday at FVO in Ballard. Bottom was pressured washed. Plan is to repaint bottom red again. The last haulout using the black bottom paint was not satisfactory.

Hopefully, launch will be later this week before the 4th of July.

As Spring nears, the season of sanding and varnishing looms. This year also brings us a reminder that a haulout is due.
So we'll be off to a yard for a good scrubbing and new bottom paint soon. For the hell of it, factor in a new insurance survey, too.
The federal government will be preparing a new stimulus appraisal of the marine repair industry soon after we transfer funds for the work from several offshore international banks.
