2133Hrs- Change Of Repetitivity
Six hours of sanding today and I have knocked back the decks, cabin tops and two thirds of one side of the port hull. My arms and back were complaining by the end of it and I was covered from head to toe in fine white dust but I’m pleased with progress. Another 3 or 4 similar sessions should see the back of first stage sanding.
My plan is to wash down once the sanding is completed, second fill anything obvious and add a few extra bits of glass I’ve missed, rub down where necessary then, after another wash down get a primer coat of paint applied. Putting paint on really shows up the areas in need of further attention and will allow me to target the second fill in the right places. After that we’ll see what’s what.

Well Neil I’ve got to hand it to you! Haven’t been to your site in awhile and there she is looking so fine. Five flip’in years plus. amazing! I think it’s the Aussies who say “good on ya mate!” I’d be out of my mind but your diligence is getting you there. Good old British stubbornness no doubt! I had plenty of time to sail this summer and that I did. We’ve been toss about and I came near close to loosing her about a month ago in a lousy anchorage. Tsunamichaser needs to come out of the water soon, other than at low tide on a beach, for some refit’in. I’ve sailed her hard and it’s starting to show. Things have broken that need some attention. Keep at it, never give up and get that girl into the sea where she belongs. Give me a heads up when it’s launch time if I can find a ticket that won’t break the bank I want to be there when she slides into the water.
Hey Thomas great to hear from you! Glad you’ve been using Tsunamichaser well. Pencil in May next year for launch, I’m determined to get there and it’d be fantastic to see you
