Today my sail-boat Prodigal got hauled out of the water to be painted. The boat is a 1980 model Morgan 462. Every couple of years you have to haul it and do a bottom paint as a maintenance procedure. I could try to explain it to you land lubbers but you would never understand.... short version, you gotta do it. So, i needed to do a bottom job on Prodigal. In addition my Honduran painter has agreed to 'sand the entire sides, and upper decks painting all to like new condition.' (this will require him to get a grinder to the decks and grind out all the small spider cracks and imperfections - scratches, dents, gouges. then fiberglass all the spots he ground down. paint the entire exterior of the vessle.) She will be a brand new boat (visually) and a gorgeous shiny white with blue stripes and bottoms.

But she does not look pretty yet. For now she has lots of old paint flaking off. I cant wait till she has a facelift. *new photos when she's finished. It will take about 4-5 weeks. (W.E.E.K.S) Like New!
I cant wait to see her all shiny and new after her 'facelift'. I might have to change her name to Joan Rivers? I'll post the After photos in about 5 weeks... till then i'll be homeless living under an overpass. -Skip
