And so it begins ... the fairing that is. If Ava and I ever want to upgrade to a bigger boat, I promise you it'll be one that won't need a lot of fairing. Oh, how I loathe fairing! ;) Actually, it's not that bad I'm just new at it and don't know what I'm doing yet. I've allotted myself another week and three days to finish the fairing process. Whatever the boat looks like then is what she'll look like for the next ten years or however long it's going to be before we need to repaint. Fingers crossed she won't be hideous! 

In Patreon related news I've signed up for a course that Patreon offers to help creators figure out what to do on Patreon. Stay tuned for exciting new things :) 

Ava and I have decided to hold off on launching the new webshop until I fly over to spend Halloween with her. Sidenote: that'll be my first ever Halloween :D We're having some trouble figuring out the t-shirts. Nothing major but it's time-consuming :) For those keeping score there are 51 days till I get to see Ava again - I can't wait!

There is one last little bit of news I wish I could tell you about, but it's not official, yet so that'll have to wait just a little bit longer :)

Sail Life - Fairing and fixing holes - DIY sailboat restoration

I continue my DIY sailboat restoration. After having spent the last month working on the hull it's awesome to be back on top - working on the deck.

As far as getting the curves sanded, I’ll go with the suggestions voiced during the hull sanding; use a pool noodle wrapped in sand paper .

Good thinking 👍 Thanks! It worked fairly well on the keel. I'll give it a go 🙂

I agree, leave the hatch alone. You’re going outside soon.
