Sanding Prep continues...

OK.  They tagged the boat to see where they have sanded.   "It's like being snow blind, you need to see where you have been."  (i asked the guy today and he said, "i dont know, Ben tells me to do it.")

I went out to check on the boat early today.  I'm anxious.  I'm anxious to get the correct hatches ordered.  (not in inventory, 3 to 4 weeks from the factory)  I'm anxious to see the paint going on. There is so much preparation that i get caught up in all the different processes.  (like why are you tagging my boat?)  Anyway, i showed up early to see Ben Miller and get his blessing on the particular hatch needed.  But, he was running around like a rhino with his head cut off.  Like a Bull in the China Shop.  Like a Mad Man on speed.  All his crews are trying to get started on their daily Monday chores, he has a boat in the lift trying to launch into the water, when somebody runs in yelling "they are spraying that sailboat and the wind is blowing it onto that Million Dollar yacht," and here i am trying to get him to look at my two small hatches.  I waited my turn.

When i went out to check on my boat The Tagger was on the deck spraying away...  It gives you a real creepy feeling to see it.  The crew was taping over hatches and ports, then sanding in preparation of painting.  
Caught tagging my lovely yacht.


The crew now sands off the ugly red marks they sprayed on yesterday.  
(its like the busy work i give my crews to do)  
I'm paying for all this.  (or they think i will.......)    New Hatches $475 ea.

- it hurts me.      Skip
