oh say can you believe, by the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hailed, the boat stood there gleaming.. oh that's so sad, I should delete it.. but it gets the point across. Did you guess yet? It's PAINTED! Three color's no less! WOW! I haven't seen this thing in paint in just shy of a year... Remember mother's day last year? And guess what else? I took pics, AND the camera is hooked up to the comp right now. I could have danced forever when we took those stupid face respirators off our faces for the last time.  So let me fill you in on the the sad, sad details walking up to that wonderful final clear coat.

1. can we say sanding anyone?

2. cleaning shop, boat and everything of dust.

3. painting the blue coat.

4. sanding the blue coat because the paper and tape lines stuck.

5. painting red

6. cleaning lines between red and blue

7. painting white.

8. sanding blue a little bit more.

9. CLEAR COAT!

10. pretending we don't see those little tiny runs....(only two)

So take a look, there are new pics over there. We will be in shop alot over the next week, so I might not make it to this. I will try. I plan on taking pics of the boat, when we buff it, and pull it into the sun.....so keep watching! We are in the countdown now! 8 days....
