How wonderful it is to be home and to be literate.
The first order of Potter business has been completed; my reconditioned
sails are in transit to my home.
The second order will start tomorrow: the keel. I want to remove and
recondition it. I think there must be some sort of "T' notch which holds
it on the pin, however, I've not determined if that is the actual case.
Help? My keel is painted (with rusted scratches and dents). What are the
recommended procedures to remove the paint and what are the recommended
procedures for new paint?
While the boat is off the trailer for keel work, I'll rewire the trailer
and replace the boat pads.
All this must be finished in time for the Long Beach - Dana Point sail Nov.
