Back to work

While the boat is still upside down, John was able to check the work he did while bending over to weld.  He was able to see and repair areas that are much more accessible. 













We took a day off to visit the beautiful cars at the REVS Institute of Automotive Research in Naples in September.  This is the collection started by Barron Collier and includes lots of innovative cars.  



This is how John "shoots" the waterline on the boat using a laser level on a tripod.  He marked the lines with pencil dots and then followed the dots with blue painters tape.After sandblasting with Black Beauty media, the bottom is now primed and painted with Awlgrip.
