6th April

Been a busy day.

First thing I did was skim the other side of the rudder and lifted and heeled over the hull a bit. 

Hull side at a comfortable height while sitting in a chair on a board with wheels.  Got stuck in with the sander and long board.  I dont know who designed my Elu sanding machine but it gets heavier as the seconds tick by.  Lots of rest breaks later and just before a late dinner the whole side was done.

After dinner did the touch up filling on the sanded port side which will be sanded flat in a few days when nicely cured.

Tomorrow will flip the hull to put the starboard side up and start sanding stbd side.  Need to buy more sandpaper on Monday so wont get too far.

Also did some power consumption tests on the electronics to be fitted.  Going to try to estimate the AH consumption in 24 hours and estimate what 50w of solar will produce on average per day to see what I can use.
