With the nice weather and having a crew of four, we really started getting things done on Oh Joy. I was working on one of the ports today, now that I finally got one out. Check out the 50 year old caulking.

Ya reckon they built the ports to withstand the sea?

I'll have more pics up soon.

Is that tempered glass??? If so, pretty heavy duty...

 

[CharlieCobra]

Yes, it's tempered.

Only nine more to go.

Some of the varnish stripping going on ALL OVER the boat.

Christopher, one of the intrepid hands.
