Another early morning start. We had taken the brass strips off the rubrail yesterday, and B began sanding and cleaning it, so today she kept ongoing with that.I epoxyed into position the new transducer for the forward facing sonar. I had just finished when B found a surprise. Part of the rubrail was rotten. This ment a trip to the hardware store for some timber to rebuild it. It took most of the day but we cut out the 2.4m of rot, finish sanding and treat all the rail with wood restore product. On top of it it was a hot day with no wind and we had no option but having a cold shower middle of the day to cool down and keep working. Sometimes B had no choice to play contortionist to reach the rubrail and Andrew had to keep balance as he was most of the day on top of the ladder.<\/div>\n\n\n
