Before lunch I started to paint the white lining around the fleet number until rain stopped play 🌧
I have just finished it off this afternoon. This side is now ready for varnishing. 😊
Just in time to watch the Scotland South Africa rugby match 🏈😁

Jo gave the galley doors a 2nd coat, whilst I gave the fleet number a 2nd coat of blue, nearly finished, I just need to do the fleet number lining so Jo can varnish the cabin sides.
Not looking good for finishing though with the predicted weather ☹️⛈
Keith & Jo
Another early morning start on painting Hadar before it gets too hot. Jo giving the galley doors a 2nd coat.
and I repainted the gauging number. 😊
Keith & Jo
Early start on the painting this morning. Jo gave the galley doors a 1st coat of gloss white and touched up the red, blue and white coach line.
Whist I did the job I hate most, the blue surrounding the gauging number 🤬.

Jo has has had a busy morning, rubbing down and undercoating the cabin side, the galley doors and our 2 mops, whilst I was busy fitting some new decking. 😊

Jo and I have been busy this morning and early afternoon painting Hadar. Whilst Jo got on with rubbing down and primering, I cracked on with touching up the signwriting. Not the easiest location to do such delicate work, and towards the end, with the heat from the sun, the paint was getting decidely stiffer. 🖌️ 😒

This morning Jo and I made a start on repainting the port cabin sides. First we tackled the galley door where the weather strip has come away from the door. After Jo attacked the rust, I drilled 3 holes then screwed the strip to the wood behind the door to pull the gap in. Then Jo used filler and rubbed down rust spots on the rest of the cabin. 😊
Keith & Jo
This morning Jo gave the starboard cabin side a 2nd and final coat of varnish. After lunch we turned Hadar around, to our normal mooring position, tomorrow we can start work on the port side. 😊
Keith & Jo
Not much painting done today, but I did manage to put the white border around the fleet number that Jo repainted yesterday. 😊
We have been sorting out bird and bat boxes on site. 🐦🦇
Keith & Jo
Jo spent this morning and early afternoon giving the cabin sides another coat of red and blue and repainted the fleet number.

This morning Jo rubbed down more of the cabin sides ready for painting. After lunch she started painting. I painted the blue area surrounding the gauging number. 😊

This morning I touched up the sign writing, not that you can see from the photo, and throughout the day Jo has painted the bow and started on one section of the cabin.
You can see how much the blue has faded in the sun. 😊
Keith & Jo
Yesterday Jo used the new wire brush cup wheel in our angle grinder to remove the paint from the front hatch lid, and also rubbed down the deck.

This morning Jo and I assembled our new bunker, and then filled it with stuff. 😊
