Another Day, Another Blister!

SHIP'S LOG:

     The word on the wind generator is that it can not be repaired on site, so it is that it gets a trip to someplace in Florida for "rejuvenation." I am hoping that it will be a short and inexpensive trip!

     I removed the old caprail, scraped the surface, filled the holes and laid out the new rail. With great care, holes were drilled in the new rail and it was screwed down in place. I have new respect for people who work in wood for as much as I measured and remeasured, the pieces didn't butt up tightly. It two places, I had to cut a fill-in piece to fill in the gap between two sections of the rail. It is what comes from trying to fit straight pieces of wood on to a curved hull.
