At $$, per night, at a local motel, for two weeks .. starts to add up. But, if I pay for the exterior job, get her launched, then I can sleep on board, for FREE [ owner/seller's dock ]. Then, I can take my time, and paint/sand/clean .. also, just an aside. Not sure exactly where you live, but in the northeast USA, Maine, you can't paint an exterior until at the very earliest May. Maybe middle of April with one part paint,, but it gets cold at night, and paint hates cold nights after warm days. PS.. your boat looks very nice.
Well, I must admit that none of those problems apply in my case and that I haven't really thought of that before...

I live as far as a 10minute drive from my swinging mooring (and the sailing club's slipway) and here in Portugal the weather allows us to repair our boats during most of the year...

Out of curiosity, if you care to Google Earth Alhandra-Portugal you'll even be able to see Fulô sitting at its mooring
