On the Hard

Silence was hauled out yesterday. While she was in the slings, Ted, from Seaside Boatworks checked out the centerboard pendant. The pendant is in great condition, no burrs, no corosion. Pretty amazing for a 10+ year old piece of hardware which spends all of it's time under water.

I stripped off the name and port on the transom, preparing the way for re-lettering. If you ever need to remove old adhesive residue like that left behind after peeling off vinyl lettering, check out Goo Gone. It's magic stuff! The old letters were looking worn and we want to reorganize the transom layout. Accent Graphics will be installing the new letters sometime this week.

This evening I went over to check on the progress of the bottom work and found the bottom already painted. The most important of the maintenance work is already taken care of.
