We keep plugging along

Although I don't have any new pictures to show you, we have continued our work on Nellie. The new wall has been primed with Kilz to help protect it from moisture and mildew. The new bead board panel that is going over it has been stained and is ready and waiting.

We have received a quote from the local sign shop for the name to go on the back of both sides of the boat and the "port of call" on the stern. I think it's going to look great.

Adam continues to finish all the fiberglass repairs in the cockpit. He is installing brand new cleats on the stern. Once all sanded, we are ready to prime. If the weather is good over the next two weeks we will hopefully have the stripe primed and the cabin/cockpit primed.

We have decided to paint the whole hull, since the bottom paint will be done and the stripe will be new, then it will all be new paint on the outside.

After painting, the two main things that need to be done is the steering column put back in and the mast re-wired. After that, all other projects can be done when she's back in the water. Woo hoo.

Green Bottom Girl

Our girl now has new bottom paint. We ended up doing it ourselves, as the boat yard is short handed. Adam has most of the wiring...
