Eric's C21

That's a friend and employee, Ray. He's a bit over 6' tall. So, I have sanded all the places I filled this morning. Right after I rinse it off again a mocking bird flies over the boat and drops a load on it out of my reach, of course. I wait for the water to dry and we get it back in the shop. Ol' Ray says, "I can reach it do you want me to get it off?" I said, Sure. He reaches up, wipes it gently off then brushes the rag quickly sling the bird poop back into my face. What could I do, That's the worst part of my day. Heck, I had to laugh.

Rough morning, Up early with a bad headache. Took shower,made coffee took a three sips and fell asleep at the computer. I'm just now headed to the shop to prime the boat. It may only get one coat. The primer say I can go 24 hours between without sanding so I'm holding that option in my trump.
Wish me luck.

I feel like I'm moving in slow motion today.
First thing I wiped it down with denatured alcohol. I found one place I dripped quick Fair.
Sanded and wiped it again.
Last pictures of my naked boat.





I mixed up 20 ounces of primer and went to work. I've used two foam rollers so far.
I change them at the first sign of damage. That batch went this far. Start time was 9:10 am, temp. was 70 degrees.




So far I've only found three pin holes. The worst is at the crest of a strake. May have to repair it, we'll see after the second coat.
This primer seems to fill and cover the small stuff very well. I thought I'd take a small break and post this, grab coffee and a smoke.
I'm headed back to it..Stay tuned...

Put Ray on lookout over the painter with a double barrel 12 gauge. I bet he would enjoy some payback.
Your primer is looking great!

Thank You everyone.
Just had a bite. My girls were out driving around with Nanna. They stopped and brought me a chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A.
Nanna had some Tylenol and I took a couple, Headache is thumping pretty good.
Any way the next 20 ounces finished the bottom, Transom and first four feet of the first side. Thought I'd take another break and let the Tylenol kick in.

I'm gonna get back on it at 3:00 and go until it's done.
