Got in the water late because of doing a new bottom. Stripped old
bottom this spring and had 2 coats of barrier and 2 coats of the the
new Petit Vivid sprayed on. It came out looking pretty cool. We mixed
4 parts white with 1 part black. Spent a couple of days burnishing the
Vivid with bronz wool.

I've heard of a lot of people doing this, is it really
better than wetsanding?

... Nailed a 1st out of a 17 boat fleet on the
second night out.

Excellent!

... We are now in our combined series with the club
across the river. Finished 5th out of 20 boats in the first race of
that series. Last week the race was canceled because of zero wind.
First time that has happened in a couple of years.

Getting into summer doldrums now isn't it? I've certainly
sat thru a bunch of "shake 'n bakes" up in that
neighborhood. This spring has been pretty good for wind down
here.


So why are you late going in?
