Meet Big Red!
It’s official! We are on the list to be launched on Wednesday, the 14th! Holy shit. Are we ready for this? Hell yeah! Today we got another coat of pain (I mean paint) on the boot stripe and the name. This means that we’ve officially finished all the planned painting projects! Of course, there will undoubtedly be some touch-ups to come, but the big stuff is done. Despite any misgivings about our painting technique, I have to say that we are both very pleased with how she turned out. Indy is looking GOOD! After finishing painting we ran into town to pick up zincs for her belly and a few other items, and on the way back to the marina we actually were able to spot Indy from the road. I think her new paint job might stand out a bit. But what the hell? Why not have fun with it?

That is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI saw a red hull sloop at anchor in Blind Bay off Shaw island last week. It looked lovely and stood out in a way that was pleasing.
It's hay season in the islands. It was warm and sunny. The fields are being cut, raked and bailed.
Best of launch day to you. Do you break a bottle on the bow even though she is not new?
Yours,
Jenny
Now that is one fine looking sailboat. You both should be MIGHTY proud for *ALL* the work you've done to get to this point. Congratulations!!!!
