February 20th

4 days since update.  Went fishing on Sunday and had good luck.  4 families had fresh fish for dinner.  I enjoy fishing as well as giving fish to friends and neighbours.

My dinner done on the barbecue.  Delicious!

Nuts was in slow motion but did get the deck ply epoxy coated on the bottom and first coat of epoxy primer.

Also epoxy primed a bunch more on the interior.  Im trying to get a lot of the smelly chemical stuff done before the deck is glued down.

Also epoxied plywood doublers on the underside of the foredeck and ply near the transom for reinforcement of the push and pullpit and mooring cleats.  The doublers were epoxy coated, sanded and primed at the same time.  

Weather in the Azores is perfect.  Nice and warm with low humidity.  (for here)

Lost half a days work yesterday.  😄 Made contact with a very good friend from school days (last contact almost 20 years ago) and spent almost 5 hours on a WhatsApp call.  Jeff did really well and was founder of Gemini Inflatable Boats.  Now building a 49ft steel boat in retirement after finishing a 40 footer which he sold.  We built our 9m Lavranos yachts together in his back yard a million years ago.  Lots of stories from hooligan days but those shall remain private.😁
