Saturday the 14th was a pretty fair day. clear skies, roll up your sleeves, maybe your pant's too,, still a bit breezy w/NE winds gusting across. Six Volunteers mustered. Capt Dan opened the muster with an admonition about the current Covid flare-up, and to reinforce the ship's policy for social distancing. Philippe Agofonovas brought along his drone to capture some aerial shots. See a few more on the Volunteer Photos Link.
Danny Johnson and Mikell Evatt continued their canvas projects, putting final stitches into some custom tool bags, then switched over to sanding down the Dory hull fiberglass repair job, in prep for it's coat of white enamel. Gary Pope, and Calvin Milam set to work repairing the wind damage done to the wet varnish job from last weekend. Joe Gorman worked on restoring canvas sewing needles, salvaged from their rusting state. Their lunch contribution sent Hunter off to provision. We were not to be disappointed. While some had to depart before lunch, meaning that much more for the rest of us.. and it was... Chicken Piccatta, Italian seasoned noodles and brussel sprouts. After lunch, with a good walk thru of the deck to make sure we'd restored order to everything, and tools secured, remaining volunteers disembarked, leaving Bryan Oliver and Joe Gorman staring at the dory. Why not? we thought.. So we broke out the roller and tip brush, stirred up a batch of super thick fast-setting marine enamel (gloss white), and set to work covering the entire hull exterior. To credit of the sanders and scuffers,, it was quite difficult to identify the repair job.
