Day 232-233 [1,2] Blisters openning, grinding, sanding

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...
