The upcoming storm is the primary topic of conversation. There are multiple severe thunderstorms predicted for the afternoon and evening. I’m taking the Aurther Dent position: Don’t Panic.
Fortunately everything we are working on today is inside. Carlos is finishing up a wash, compound and polish on a Parker 23 which is tucked away in the front of one the buildings — which is a good thing since the rain just started while I was typing this paragraph!
Kevin was doing some gel coat repairs which seem to be the mainstay here in the yard. Fortunately he is good with color matching because it would be impossible to stock OEM colors for every boat that comes into the yard.
It looks like they are replacing the heads and head hoses in the Motoryacht. I haven’t really heard anything about this from the source of all things.
Ditto on the boom and mast. I had a time sheet that said “start removing mast and boom”. I know new electronics are going on the boat but beyond that I’m not sure.
