Ultra-Tuff

I don't think I'll quit this boat. There are many days I think I may just because it is taking up nearly all the space in my life and it seems like it only gets bigger. But today, I think I'll keep it. We sprayed the final coat of non-skid material onto the decks of Epilogue. Over a year of work has gone into those decks: filling holes, fairing countless chips, gouges, waves and sanding through hundreds of disks. It is finally done. The application was a great success with only a little touch up to finish tomorrow. These decks are covered with an elastomeric water-based polyurethane that is supposed to be bomb-proof. There are small rubber particles in it that provide the traction. The surface is quite agressive and easy on bare feet. The next project on tap is getting the hull prepped for painting. This will take most of September.

Bob Bennett is getting closer to completing the galley re-build. All that's missing from this is a coffee maker.
