Kit is blue

Since it looks like I'll be in Michigan a little longer, I decided to dig out some of my "What I did on my summer vacation" photos. (Remember those September school essays?) Sorry for the shadow patterns -- think the color of robins' eggs or Tiffany boxes.

I patched almost 100 holes in her fiberglass, both small and large, interior and exterior.

Getting a strong, watertight patch with fiberglass is easy. Getting a smooth finish to take a gelcoat or paint is miserable. I will not be taking up working fiberglass as a hobby!

Then I painted with a marine topside paint. This is the most annoying paint I have ever used -- but oh, the gloss when it's finished! Also, I love my new ladder. I haven't felt this secure on a ladder since I hit 50. I'm actually fantasizing about carrying it along when I travel.

Then came the interior. I pulled out an enormous amount of junk - nonfunctioning systems, outdated appliances, etc. Then I put back just what I wanted from my tent camping gear.

Finally, I added some pretty!

Many more plans ahead, but this is Kit today.![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
