 Jo and I have been busy this morning and early afternoon painting Hadar. Whilst Jo got on with rubbing down and primering, I cracked on with touching up the signwriting.

 This morning Jo and I made a start on repainting the port cabin sides. First we tackled the galley door where the weather strip has come away from the door. After Jo attacked the rust, I drilled 3 holes then screwed the strip to the wood behind the door to pull the gap in. Then Jo used filler and rubbed down rust spots on the rest of the cabin. ?
