Marc- Final prep for launch. Lucy III's bottom is now painted with VC-17 and we hope the boat is as slippery as the paint was going on. She looks really nice with the smooth Copper finish. The two part paint (one part copper powder and one part clear liquid) was real interesting to use. Lots of electrical work completed this week for rewiring of the 110 volt circuits and two new 12 volt circuits. I am alone again for this working weekend as Sue is taking care of her parents and the girls are both away. I have the some of the sails aboard and was able to mount the mainsail. The furling genoa will have to await launch as the yard removes the forestay for some reason during launch. We still need to load the other basics aboard such as the sheets, towels and provisions.
Cleaning took considerable time this weekend and I hope that the seagulls stay away for a change.
My goal is to have the boat in top condition for Cruise Week(s) with departure on July 4th. the Outline of the Cruise is as follows:
