Hatches Are In!

SHIP'S LOG:

     It took about 3 hours (1hr/hatch) to set the hatches in place. Not having done this before, I had only videos on YouTube to go on.  It really seemed a rather simple process and really it was. You do it in a series of steps  and it just goes. Not having worked with butyl caulking before, the first hatch was a real learning experience. It all seemed to go well, though the process disclosed that either the rear hatch is  out of square or the aft deck where it is located is. I am not sure which but the butyl tape caulk should take care of the discrepancy. Of course the proof will come when next it rains, which it is doing right now. If the rain doesn't get in, all is well.  If not, well I won't worry about it too much and simply re-do it.
