Hi guys! 

Okay, it's not quite that bad, but I have come down with a cold. Yes, the much-dreaded man flu is upon me. Prayers, crossed fingers, sacrificed chickens anything you can do speed up my recovery would be much appreciated ;) I was hoping to get a lot more done this weekend but I've run out of steam. 

If I'm feeling better tomorrow, I plan on shooting the last half of a video about removing the foam I found in the bilge last weekend. That video is going to be released while Ava and I are in Norway this summer (she lands in Copenhagen in 45 days and 1 hour). I've got it all out of there, but it was quite the struggle. 

As for the rest of today, I think I'm just going to crawl into the v-berth and see if I can't sleep my way through this horrid man flu.

I've just received a call from the friendly neighborhood UPS guy that my new tools from flexi-sander have arrived (http://www.flexisander.com/en/products). I'm super excited to take them for a spin while fairing the hull and the cabin top.

I hope I'll have another one of those lens dohickeys for you guys later this week ... and on that clifhanger... see you next Sunday ;) 

Have an awesome Sunday guys! :)

Get well Mads, I sacrificed a couple roosters for you (more effective than hens). I have a thought about the shavings the gel plane missed. Perhaps more of the shavings would have been vacuumed it your vacuum would accept a 2 inch hose, rather than reducing hose size at the tool. You impress me with each video, please keep em coming!!! Gotta go, I have some researching to do on GelPlanes. I'm considering a boat with a severe blister issue.

I did some research on GelPlane. It's not a Makita tool, the company that makes them is in England and the use a Makita motor to drive their specialty tool. Only one place on this side of the pond that sell them. Didn't see anyone renting them here.
