For the record, there are 10 winches and one wench.  All of which require servicing.  I'll try to get the wench to take a photo of the boat explosion in the garage and family room.  At least there's a path to the bar.

When Willow does a wicked spin, it's a bad thing.  But that's a different "there-I-was" tale.  But we HAVE had six drunks dancing to, "why don't we get drunk?" in the cabin.

Karen, very nice.
 So it must be a marine epoxy they are shooting? How many gallons to cover her?

It is really starting to take shape sure looks good. How long before you get the boat back into the water?

Looks like a big project to me? It is looking good, I like the color choice. I think it will look sharp on the horizon against a pale blue sky. Very Nice indeed...

Well, they did some work on the hull to remove all of the bumps and bulges that had developed over the years, then they primed it, then painted it with awl grip paint (we think 2 coats).  Mike says it a linear polyurethane....whatever that means.  It's supposed to be good stuff.  We'll see....  They've had the boat since December.  It is a big project!!!  It's basically a 30 year old new boat!  We were planning on taking vacation the last 2 weeks of this month on the boat.  That ain't gonna happen.  It may be done by the end of the month.  Once it's all painted, they have to put it back together.  The bottom will be the lighter blue, similar to what was on there before.  Can't see the bottom except when the boat's healed over. 
 
I'm very anxious to see it all together (and get all of the boat crap outta my house!)
