All the big stuff is done!

[Hilde's log]

Quick post to show you the non-skid and the solar panels. Next chore is emptying the workshop, which happens a bit here and a bit there, most mornings. How on earth did we collect so much stuff??

Warning to those of you planning to do this: I didn't use the 3M blue tape because it didn't make a tight enough seal in the head and my paint found its way under the tape in places. I used the 3M green on the deck and the darn stuff doesn't all come off. Mostly, but not all. What's left leaves a stain. I am NOT happy. David bought some 3M adhesive remover, but it wasn't strong enough. He is going back to by 3M Death in a Can. Fingers crossed.

Looking forward, toward the bow. So pretty! You can see one bit of reluctant adhesive right in the middle of the white gelcoat in the middle of this photo.
Side decks, too...unfortunately beautiful new non-skid shows dirt really well.

Cap'n Dave and his solar array - he built the frame himself!

Empty shelves, empty boxes...we're getting there. The far shelf on the left has to be carried on Raven. Yeah, right. I see more culling in our future. Fortunately a lot of it gets lashed to the deck.
