The hull...April 24th





Robert and I arrive to find that Joel has the bottom painted and is stripping the hull. We suit up and try to help. I quickly learn that I have to develop a lot of patience while letting the stripper work. I seem to not let it cook long enough. I think Robert has a better sense of when it's ripe and I start listening to him. It goes a lot better.

All of a sudden this 33 foot hull seems very, very big to me. We work away and make some really good progress. Robert has agreed to come back on Monday and help with additional stripping.

I am a little nervous about what we will find after the paint is all off, but so far so good.
