On Wednesday Billy and Jeff helped me move the dory outside under the deck so that I could paint it. We didn't go far--just tilted it on edge to get it out the cellar door and then put it back on the sawhorses on the other side of the wall where it's been all winter. I've been waiting for the weather to warm up enough to finally start the painting. Today was exciting because it was sunny and warmed up enough in the afternoon. With the dory upside down, I sanded the whole thing one last time with 220 grit sandpaper, vacuumed it, and taped the rails and transom. Using the small roller, I painted it with the primer, Pre-Kote. With the humidity low and a slight breeze, it seemed to dry almost as soon as I put it on.
