Moving right along...

Today, I got a bunch done.

I started out by doing the final coat on the bilge. I have been procrastinating that job. Now I can start putting in the mechanical components. The bilge pump and float switch can be installed, and all of the wires can be buttoned down.

Then I continued work on the bottom. I finished scraping the old paint from under the bow and under the port waterline. I then took the sander to the entire bottom, covering all of the areas that I scraped. Holy cow, that was a messy job.

After that, I started filling the nail and screw holes. I ran out of filler about three quarters of the way through. So I'll have to pick up some more.

Also the caulk that I bought for the keel would not come out of the tube, it had solidified. I'll pick up a tube of that as well.
