Rotten wood removed; sanding started.

Dave, Cliff, and Barbara on sanding detail.

Steve patching; garboards replaced and frame supports added (rivets and glue); ready for a float test

It only leaked a little...; done patching and ready to paint; interior bottom sealed

Priming and more priming; yellow test paint and gritting and painting floorboards; ...and many coats later, we're done.

Trailered and ready to go to Port; Dave testing the waters; sharing center stage at Point Hudson Marina

And we're sailing Port Townsend Bay! Fishing boats on the beach at Salema, Portugal, that inspired the colors.
