Boat on the hard Starting to review what I have  and how much work need to do. Pressure washed bottom first.    From the first glance ! found only two major blisters.   Work team - Me and my son Vic. (Great thanks him for help) After hard 2 days of work.    Blisters  Opened some biggest blisters. Looks like "water" (rein soup) was collected under first layer of CSM which was directly under gel coat.  General observation #1 Actually this first layer of CSM looks like "dry" layed. Not sure it is caused by osmosis or just it is how boat was built.  General observation #2 Port side  has a lot of small craters looking mode like just gel-coat voids than blisters.   Starboard side before digging in. Starboard   Next tasks - cleanup old paint, open blisters.    End of the day on hard 1  I get angle grinder and worked on opening all real and potential blisters, to the end of the day theirs number get closer to 50-6...

Jailbreak Last two weeks was intensive.  I have bonded with transporter half year ago, and planned THE DAY 11/11 but everything went not as planned. We have successfully completed transportation one day later ;) But using other trailer than we planned, hauled out boat with help of other people, and puling trailer with other car than planned. But we did it!  Distance we traveled was about 220miles.  All went relatively good, only one problem happened, One of tires on the trailer blown on the middle of the road. But we did not have jack and tire wrench, so i had to ride to closest city on my car to buy them to replace the tire.   I agreed with my transporter to meet at matina about 6:30 AM to motor to Austin yacht club where we plan to pull boat from the water.   Early morning in Austin, on the way to marina. Way out to freedom she will sail last time from Commanders point marina.   All ready for departure, just disconnect shore power and we are free to go. G...

Just added wooden horses support to mast during transportation. Little motoring to lake and back.
