Today the weather turned to crap - no painting. So instead we spent the day inside pulling all the sea-cocks apart and re-greasing them. I also dismantled and reassembled the tube for the the centerboard lifting cable that runs through the engine room, as it has had a slight weep ever since we launched her back in California, leaving a slow drip of water into the engine room bilge. If it wasn't for that drip the bilge is basically dry. Fingers crossed I got it right, because once we are back in the water we don't get to have another crack at it.

| Old-school bronze plug sea-cocks. Need greasing to keep them from seizing. |

| Prop finished with Propeller Coat. The vendor tells me this is the commercial grade product and should be good for 7 years. Promises, promises... |
Tomorrow the forecast looks ok-ish, so hopefully we will get the final coat of anti-foul on, then back in the drink on Wednesday - and back to work for me!
