Stairway to sanding and draining the keels ;) (Patreon)

Hi guys!

Happy Friday :) In this week's video, we build steps, move the tool trailer under the boat, and drain both keels. Yup, as foretold by the trusty moisture meter, there was indeed water in the port keel, too ;) It's not a big deal. From what I've seen since recording this video (one week ago), the leak into the port keel might have been just four screws from something like an old bilge pump that was screwed directly into the sandwich of the false bottom that sits on top of the keels. Fingers crossed, that is true.

Here is a direct link to the Patron version of the video: https://youtu.be/shLXOcjZpYg

In real-time news. Ava is back in Michigan, taking excellent care of our niece. Left to my own DEvices I got the chance to fire up Shining3D's new 3D scanner today - the Vega. I've never used a 3D scanner before, but I think it will be a very useful tool for this refit. It is also a great addition to my steadily growing CAD skills (not the cardboard kind). I'm still just a noob fumbling around, but I am slowly getting better :)

Tomorrow is a workday here at the club. Every household needs to put in 25 hours per year to help with the maintenance, or you get charged for each hour you haven't worked by the end of the year (I think the rate is $20 per hour). So tomorrow, I get to work on something that's not boat-related for the first time in a very long time ;)

Have a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support!
