8th March

Removed the foam out of the aft flotation compartment.  Did it through the hatches at the foot of the bunk and it worked out just fine.  Then epoxied in an aluminum tube through the aft bulkhead to use for draining out the compartment and to check if there are any leaks.  Then glued in the cockpit floor.

Floor with screws removed and holes filled in with epoxy filler. (done this evening after glue had gone off).

Cut out and glued on ply reinforcement for the deck cleats.

You can see some of the foam sheets which will be reinstalled tomorrow.  I left them out while epoxy is going off in the aft compartment as dont want them to get stuck in.

Postman brought me some goodies including -

I will only get a subscription once Nuts is launched so plenty of time to read the manual.
