We are finally breaking out of sanding and fairing hell! Last night Greg and I did a final round of sanding on the bottom and the starboard side, using 120 grit sandpaper, and applied a coat of primer to the areas we sanded. Over the next week or two we will finish sanding and applying the first coat of primer.
Those of you who have been stuck in sanding and fairing hell can appreciate how happy we are over hitting this milestone. But considering how long we've been doing this -- roughly two years now -- this accomplishment is especially sweet. Since I rode my bike over to Greg's house, I didn't bring the camera so once again I don't have any pictures yet, but I think I'm going to wait until the boat is completely primed.
I still can't describe how gratifying it is to be coming out of hell.

This blog will chronicle the journey of Greg and Dave, two lifelong friends as Dave helps Greg build a cabin cruiser made of plywood and fiberglass using a stitch and glue technique. We purchased the plans, kit and supplies from www.bateau.com.
