bottom prep


 SPARTINA is coming along.  Old hardware screw holes drilled out, hardwood dowels epoxied in to place, trimmed sanded and painted over.  Tomorrow might be hardware day, putting the four blocks on the foredeck and mainsheet block on the cb trunk.  Then Bristol varnish for the main and mizzen masts later in the week.  Once that is done it will be rigging day, setting the masts and sails in place and cutting/splicing the shrouds to the correct length.  And after that the least favorite job, bottom paint.  I did. a little prep work for that today.
