Day 114 Accounting for the bill

We got a general accounting for what we owe so far for Sea Marine.  Not good, but not as bad as we had expected.  We're closing in on the 5 figure range--real fast.  The majority is labor cost of course.  At between $60 & $75 per hour, it adds up fast.  It took three days to get it but it's not like we are going anywhere.

More rain yesterday.  It's been dry so they needed it.

The graphics came for Zephyrs stern.  They forgot to put in the "Denver, CO" for our hailing port that has to be on the stern so they are shipping that today.  It's a bit too cold to apply it so we will wait for the weekend when it is supposed to be warmer. 

We stopped in at West Marine for some 1/2" webbing to mark the anchor chain.  It will be stitched through the links at set intervals so we will know how far out the chain has gone.  Add paint to the links and  we will be able to tell, night and day what is being let out.

Stopped by the local "Pet Store" to look for Science Diet for the kids.  They don't carry it so we are off to Sequim t

o find it this afternoon.  40 minutes there and 40 back plus finding the local Petco so that will kill the rest of the day.  

Other than that, we kept a low profile to stay out of Jacks way.  Read and sat in the cockpit enclosure.  We can't go into the main cabin since Jack is working there.

Here's a picture of my cleaning of the hull.  The bow sure looks better than the rest.  Unfortunately, it has been so damp that the rubbing compound won't dry so it just smears as I try and get it off.  While it look pretty good, it will still require a good buffing and then a coat of wax.  The weekend is coming.

That's about it for yesterday.  Now it's off on a field trip.  The kids must eat!
