A Short Update of Progress over the past Week at Thunderbolt Shipyard.

 Last Thursday,  June 2d the  the Coast Guard inspected and signed off on hull repairs.

The next day, Capt Hackett, project manager, signed the paint contract, to initiate the project for sanding, prepping, and painting both the bottom below-waterline, and topsides (white-above waterline).

This week, the heavy sanding and bottom prep has started, and estimated to be complete this week. The go-ahead for  Bottom paint will be contingent on Capt Heath's inspection of seams and other repair work.

Capt Heath expects that necessary repairs to the GENSET, inverter replacement, and engine/ Battery/DC electronics to be completed in time to splash her by end of month.

Actual Delivery prep and crewing is TBD.

This Friday(tomorrow), six volunteers will be driving to Savannah/Thunderbolt Shipyard  for the weekend, to finish several projects; laundering the bedding, and curtains in each of the berths, reinstalling mattresses;  inspecting and restowing of cold water immersion suits in each berth.
