Commander #65 "Lucky Dawg"

Now you have me looking... http://www.pearsonariel.org/discussi...604-keel-voids

Pic Bill (A231) posted. Holes I drilled are just a smidge fwd and a bit below of the tip of the arrow indicating the keel void. I can't tell you exactly, but I'd guess the bottom of that void is about 5" above the bottom of the keel - solid fiberglass below. You can eyeball it - that fitting is 3 1/8" in diameter, and the bottom of the 1 1/2" hole I drilled is at the very bottom of the void...

Can't believe I missed this last night. A photographer's picture from my home port of Muskegon, Mi. Unfortunately, no alarm sounds when they fire up.

I refinished my hatch boards and companionway brightwork. Commissioned a bag from my canvas lady. Came out nicely! Four pouches and fuzzy on the inside.

Cozy! The Dawg is looking awesome as always.

She doesn't look so hot at the moment! Companionway and hatchrails removed, rubrail removed, topsides paint repairs half done, garboard drain in process. Most of those projects / re-installs are at a bit of standstill waiting for the temp in the warehouse to get above 40* (it's been more like 20*.) Things don't seem to cure below 40*+. Windows are installed, but I'm waiting for a warm up to install the butyl. It'll all come to a head in a couple weeks. I have a huge spreadsheet of projects, materials, and tools to throw in the trunk before each trip to the warehouse for slices of projects. Kyle Williams "Master of the Obvious", but varnishing from bare wood is a time consuming process. The hatch brightwork all looks nice though and was long overdue.
