Passat II on the Hard





We spent the first two weeks of June painting the bottom and hull of Passat II and installed the wind steering gear which is an RVG and hopefully we will be a very reliable third member of the crew. At least we know it won't argue with us about the commands that are given!






I thought we would never finish the painting it was a continuous round of scrapping, sanding, taping, painting, untaping, sanding, painting.... that seemed to go on forever in between wind and rain storms.

You've finally casted off the rigors of the work a day world to follow your dreams. Good for you. I hope all your voyages go well and the wind favors your sails.
