 It's been a while - like two years - since I've updated this blog.  My apologies... COVID and life got in the way. With a return to a more normal practice schedule, the launch deserved a coat of paint.  After doing quite a bit of research on painting epoxy, and stumbling onto Andy's excellent youtube channel ¨ Boatworks today ¨ I started ordering product.  Painting was a 4 week affair, mostly due to weather, drying time and what my shoulders would tolerate.  But at the end of the day, I'm very pleased with the result!  BTW, the _goal_ was serviceable paint that would stand up to daily launch/retrieves by a bunch of teenagers, getting banged into, and passing the '30 foot test' (looking pretty good at 30 feet).  Bare glass - sanded, but definitely not smooth. Stern view of the same.  10x10 canopies over the hulls, set up in the driveway.  My sainted wife kinda tolerated it.  Starting to lay down Totalboat Totalfair to smooth the hull.  Super product.   Hulls off
