Hot and dirty work, I seem to manage to get any project I attempt all over me. Marcus called me his little blue smurf wife.

Considering the boat had been on the
hard in the Sonoran desert for 6 months she looked pretty good! For 2
weeks we sanded, scraped, painted the hull. The lines were run, the
dodger reinstalled, through-hulls checked, and systems checked. We
had brought a gallon of the bottom paint, which was had been just
enough to paint the bottom last time. We barely had enough for ½ of
the hull this time! Even though while scraping and painting it felt
like the boat had grown longer, we knew she hadn't. Our theory is
that the hull dried out during the Sonoran summer. Marcus was
heading to town, had to bite the bullet and spend big bucks for
additional paint from the very expensive chandlery when Marcus had an
idea. He asked the boatyard worker if they had some left over paint
we could purchase. Happy day! They had just the right paint at just
the right price!
