A Cookie!

The title of the last post may not have made sense unless you have seen the children's book. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Basically you're better off not to, but that's how it's been. Wanted to complete the decks so needed to put in the forward beam. Can't do the port decks until the bunk is in, needed to finish the barrier coats on the bottom before the bunk, etc, etc.

Although you'd never want to have water standing in the hulls for a long time, it seems that most larger ply epoxy boats I've worked with suffer this at some point. I therefore wanted a good seal on all the bilge areas. I also did under the master bunk as the sleepers body heat will cause the hulls to sweat a lot in certain climates and create a lot of additional trapped moisture. Best to do as much painting at once to save on wasteage and roller covers so gotten this done in last 2 days.

Also have sole done for the galley in MDO so will get that in soon as well. The MDO is not real fancy, but with the kids dropping things, sandy feet, it didn't seem to make sense to drop $300 a sheet for teak and holly.
