There's lots of work to be done to make the boat look nice that have nothing
to do with making it seaworthy, so they're not at the top of the priority
list. We figure there will be plenty of time for the detail work once
we're on our way. A few things just "had to be done", tho.
The portlights in the cabin side needed re-bedding (that IS a combination
seaworthy /"comfort" priority - drips in the cabin are very bad for
morale). As long as they're out, it'd be nice to make them shiny - once
they're back in it'd be a very difficult and messy job. Also, the interior
cabin sides are going to get a fresh coat of paint before putting the portlights
back in.

Portlight polishing progress...

Re-installed over newly painted cabin sides - looking much brighter inside!
