piranharelatively slow week, what with illness (P was sick), and supplier problems (first they ran out of epoxy, then pigment). but majorly scored: complete set of fresh- and wastewater tanks, stainless, never used. we'll be able to have all our tankage in stainless for the price of plastic, which is really excellent.
foredeck is sanded, and, as expected, all the old wood is fine and can be kept. decided to use splines of yellow cedar instead of white epoxy fill. starboard sidedeck is not really good enough to do the same, so it'll get painted. port sidedeck actually had some punkiness, and is being replaced. port bulwarks also had some problems; you can see the replacement in the foredeck picture. the roofs have been covered with epoxy and pigment, to better fair them.
the galley stove has been sent off for conversion to propane.
pictures, not color corrected, mainly taken to show progress to the paramour. the darker spot in the centre of the foredeck is where the large cleat sat, and will get covered again.
