Over the past two weeks, our work on SuAn has been dragging along rather slowly. But at least now it’s clear that we haven’t just been twiddling our thumbs!

We’ve turned SuAn into a colorful patchwork masterpiece. The boat is now covered in little spots where we’ve been sanding, priming, and in some areas, even filling like true perfectionists.

The hull below the waterline doesn’t look much better – the old black antifouling has been sanded down and is now streaked with grey separating primer, giving it a certain... chaotic artistic flair.

Now we’re just hoping that April’s fickle weather finally gives way to something drier and more reliable, so we can bring SuAn back into a presentable, somewhat elegant state.
