Still more painting ....

After weeks of haggling over paint with the Greek importers and finally being delivered no paint and the wrong laquer, Mark made an excutive decision and went with a different paint. You might be asking 'why are you painting the topsides as well' and the answer would be because the same crappy company that painted the deck painted the topsides - need I say more.

It's a long way around a 47' boat when you're sanding.






Then there's the repairs ....



and more sanding .....





then repairs on the transom ...



some uglier than others



then it looks good again ...

then there's washing - this job deserved danger money
(note NO guard rail)
then hours of masking ....
top and bottom ...


then finally painting ...


doesn't she look lovely ...


after a very long day we sit and admire our handywork
then take ourselves off for a well deserved drink
