Working on... Stuff. Lots and Lots of Stuff.

We're supposed to be out of the boathouse in about 10 days (not likely!), so we've been doing a flurry of small, random tasks to get the boat watertight. There are so many that I just took pictures and wrote the descriptions there. 

My dad started the engines earlier this week, and apart from a torn coolant line spraying antifreeze all over the port engine, everything worked like clockwork. It's really quite surprising, considering Mariah's engine's track record, and the fact that Misogi hasn't been started in about 6 months. Hopefully she'll be moving soon!

I carved small grooves into the swoopy bits that support the boatdeck.
These will be soaked in CPES, then filled with some kind of UV-resistant caulk.
Hopefully water will have a harder time getting in than it did before.

Screwed trim back around flybridge door. Everything is a slightly different shape, so the trim looks a bit sloppy now.
Definitely better than nothing though. 

Put teak bungs in a cap rail. Lots more of this soon, when the rest of the cap rails go back on. 

Rotten plywood taken off of back boatdeck. The frames are rotten too, so the whole thing will have to be rebuilt.
We're not really sure how to go about it, but the best plan to date is to saw the whole deck off and have an aluminum fabricator make a new one over the winter. Aluminum wouldn't rot. 

Spot where I need to put cap rail.

The cap rail. It's a very complicated shape, and it doesn't fit quite right on the new Portuguese Bridge.
I'm planing, scraping, and sanding it down to the right shape with a bit of help and guidance from Randy.

Port side of boat primed. We put the first coat of actual paint on today, but it still needs one more.
 I'll take more pictures once the final coat is on. It already looks really nice and shiny!
