Hull paint finally on, yippee.

Well, that fish market is looking more and more interesting. We have emptied all the stuff we brought from home and bought some tuna today 100 pesos per kg. Which seems like a really good deal. the quick math says it's about 10 dollars a kg or 5 dollars a pound. The real math tells you it's 3.42 per pound, We need to get more of that.

 And here it is with Anne's varnished windows

Awlgrip lays down really flat and has a great shiny finish

 Beautiful day for spraying paint, finally!

Remember the movie Banana's I think these guys were in it.

The orange fish reminded me of Nemo, no stripe but still.

It has been busy and a little frustrating. We were ready to paint last Saturday but they had ordered the wrong paint. They had a holiday on Monday so if we were going to get paint on the boat I needed to go and get it myself in San Diego. I knew I could get one gal to get us started but while I was on the 6:30 AM bus Anne started making phone calls at 7:30 to find more. We ended up with 3 of the 4 cans we needed, which was plenty as having to carry it back to Ensenada was enough to handle. I was a real freak magnet all day, but I learned a lot about gold mining and a lot of other useful things, could have scored some grass. Then I also ran into Allen Olson from San Francisco, Allen and I did some sailing together years ago and had Anne and I out on his last project Seaward. The latest for Allen is the SF Schooner project, it was nice to see him and hear that is moving forward.

Good news, Anne is getting lots of coats of varnish on the window frames, bad news that means we don't have paint on the boat yet. They ordered the wrong paint. So we are looking at what to do.
