Now we're getting really close.

Hi everyone. Today we worked hard from the start. Almost all of RS things was with us from the storage. The first thing to do is to wash the deck and the cockpit for the polishing to come. This means that we need to remove the spray hood as well as the cock pit cover. We managed to put them away into the cabin, after a lot of tinkering. Then we rinsed and scrubbed everything thoroughly until Annika became hungry (blood sugar level drop) 😊 so we had a fika when we were done washing.

While we had out fika the boat dried in the sun and heat. Spring weather for sure! When the coffee cups were empty Annika removed the last few drops on the hull and I put on new masking tape. It was time for a second coat of antifouling. I still cannot stop bragging about the work Annika put into scraping the hull. Then we started painting.

This turned out bloody wonderful. Now we only have the polishing and that we will do on Good Friday before the launching, rigging and starting up of the engine. So, if we are darn lucky and the opportunity arises we might chug around Stenungs Island on Sunday.

When we came home it was still wonderfully nice weather so we took the opportunity to air our motorbikes.

Ahoy! Anders and Annika
