Layer #6 - or is it 7? - of epoxy being sanded.
It's just that we never seem to get away from the dock to actually DO any sailing!
Spring is upon us, and the weathergods have been generous, giving Pirate's Cove an unseasonably mild February and March, and an almost scarily warm April to allow boatbuilders and rebuilders and repairers to build and rebuild and repair.
Certainly, for laying down fiberglass and epoxy, we Moontiders have been singularly grateful for the lack of rain, and even pleasant days to put down epoxy, and sand it off. And put down epoxy, and sand it off. And put down epox-- well, you get the idea.
But the side decks are taking shape, and are downright watertight as of this April evening. Which is good news.
The inside of the boat once again looks like a boat, and we rejoice in its pleasing image and space.
Some new notes on the website: The Restoration Tab at the top of the page has subcategories now, dividing our work efforts into years and projects.
We've put several video 'trailers' on, just for fun, that folks might enjoy.
We also added more guests and crew to our list of folks who have had the opportunity to share Moontide with us.
Hope the Spring is being kind to everyone else. If you enjoy the site, please let us know.
