It is time to think about launching our Abaco Dinghy
Dandy. First it needed a little bit of touch up work. Luckily the boat is kept covered during the summer and so it didn't take too much work. The inside white paint was starting to wear thin, so Dave gave it a new coat of white. It takes both of us to do this so that I could tell him where the worst spots are, while standing on the opposite side. It is hard to see when you are painting almost upside down. It's nice and shiny now and this was our Christmas day project.
Then it was time to scrape off what was left of the old barnacles and 'fur' on the bottom from last season.
It is a tough spot to get into while the boat is still on the trailer.
Now fresh black paint is on and Dandy is ready to launch right after the new year.
Dandy certainly will live up to its reputation as a show piece for the 3 months it lives in the water!
