For the next three weeks we will rip this boat apart. We will grind and sand and paint and fix and demolish and rip up and down rig and rebuild and stain and clean and repair. She's going to be SO shiny when we're finally done.
The galley (kitchen) is getting new counter tops and a new floor.
Three heads (bathrooms) are being rebuilt.
The salon tables are getting re-varnished
Every bit of painted steel is getting sanded or ground down and repainted (there's alot of painted steel on a steel boat, inside AND out)
All of the blocks (pulleys) are getting downrigged, maintenced and repainted
Every day when I take a shower, the water runs dirty for minutes before I'm finally clean.
My job:
Take an inexperienced girl. Give her a dangerous power tool for grinding away the rust on the outside of the ship. Put her on a small floating dock attached to the side of the ship. Make the floating dock rock and roll with the tide/waves. Pray she doesn't die.
I'm not dead yet! And I still have all of my fingers and toes! And they're mostly still in good shape. :) I only nicked a small bit of one finger.
