One of my goals when we hauled out was to fix the one leak we had in the hull, which was a weeping seam in the engine room. When we hauled it was immediately obviously where the source of the leak was, which was in some original outer planking that had a very open seem. I caulked it with traditional cotton caulking, and after a couple of days back in the drink she is now completely water-tight. Thanks to Rick Brown for having the foresight to show me how to caulk and providing me with the materials before we left California.
Getting lots of thumbs-up from passing boats when they see the new-look Kamalii. I want to try and get all the varnishing finished over the next two months so we are good to go for summer.
