Life, work, and weather have interfered with boat building, but today all was right with the world and I was able to put a second coat of dark blue paint on the hull. Yesterday was too windy to paint, but I wet sanded the dory with 400 grit paper to get it ready. Before I could sand I used a couple of Swifer clothes to get all the pollen off the boat--it was so thick, it looked yellow. I discovered that a McDonald's plastic southwest salad bowl makes a nice paint tray for the small three inch roller that I'm using for painting. Temperatures were cool this morning and I had to wait until around 10am for the day to warm up above 60. At least it's not windy and hopefully the paint will dry before anything falls on it.
