Blasted!

Osprey Marine finally got around to blasting years of bottom paint off Corsair's hull.  With a 33 year old fiberglass boat one always has concerns about water intrusion (osmotic blistering).  The diagnosis turned out great;  no blisters, some minor pitting and low moisture meter readings.  Corsair will now be left out to dry until late winter/early spring when she will get an epoxy barrier coat and a new bottom paint job.

Wax On....Wax Off....

While the crew of Miss Maggie (now Tiki Trek) was undertaking all sorts of significant and challenging work such as reattaching chainplates, replacing head hoses,  and power washing the bilge,  I was at a loss to find anything really "manly" to do.  A few small upgrades this weekend.

• A new stereo system to replace the mid-90's cassette deck.
• Replaced all 12v lightbulbs with LEDs

For exercise and in order not to look too lazy, I decided to wax the hull.  So now, she's not only clean on the inside but shiny on the outside.

Cleaning Her Up

Cleaned all the teak interior with Murphy's Oil Soap and then applied Lemon Oil.  She's a beauty now.
