New bilge

The bilge has raised by 3/4" by filling it to the top of the backing plates with epoxy with a filler and pigment.
It looks wet, but that is just the shine from the epoxy with pigment.
The hull keel seam was covered with 3M 4000 and then the centerboard, centerboard trunk, and keel were painted with Pettit Ultima 60 SR 1036RE (the same paint that is on the hull).

New zincs on the keel cooler heat exchangers.
Over the last few days, I cleaned the teak handrails and dorade box tops.  Then Diane and I taped and sanded them and I applied 3 coats of Cetol Natural Teak finish...not varnish, but much easier process than varnish.  Still to come is 2 coats of Cetol gloss.


Schedule is to have Owl Moon work completed at Regent Point next Friday, 9/16.
