it doesn’t get better

refit 1 Minute

So my Better Half traveled to North Carolina to take a look at the progress.  It was overwhelmingly destroyed and dirty. It wasn’t getting better.

this used to be our stove. note how dirty the side is. this is now garbage.

This is one of our water tank in process of being coated so condensation will no longer be a problem

A finished water tank. I’m kind of excited about it…

oh right, I forgot. The porthole in the trunk berth was also so rusty that it was beyond salvaging. Fix that, too.

Looks seaworthy.

Boat butt. We have problems.

We really have problems. That’s a big hole that had been patched with fiberglass at some point.  Also, this is the area where one of our lifelines is secured to the boat.  With a hole like that we should call them deathlines.
