Well, my wife and I went out on Lake winnipesaukee, NH today for the first boating day this season. What a great feeling after a full month of prep! It was all worth it. (keep telling myself...)

1. Remove 12 year old bottom paint, strip, scrape, sand sand sand and more sanding.
2. 2 Weeks of applying new barrier coats.
3. Sand again.
4. 1 week of applying VC Performance Epoxy, reseal hull/deck joint and deck hatch.
5. 3 days at shop getting engine and outdrive prepped.

Sigh.....

Just remember.....when you get out on that open water, you forget about all that work you just did.

I love boating. :)

Sounds like a good day...I tell non boaters all the time that when everything is working right and your out on the water there is nothing better!

And I tell new boaters that "the time that when everything is working right and your out on the water there is ...something about to go wrong!"
