I'm finally getting to put Joint Adventure back together after the tsunami. I have much work to do but I'm just getting the bottom ready for paint. We had many blisters and I only fixed about 2/3 of them, it's just too hard in the weather here to make much progress. I had to get some fibreglass work done on the keel/hull joint and straighten out the tip of the keel where she was bent. I hired out the clothwork and had some help scrapping 12 years of bottom paint off, but I'm doing the blisters myself as I am picky about how the repair is done.

Then we need some new upholstery, we shipped foam and materila and have sewers lined up. I have 6 winches that are frozen etc. With some help and luck we'll be ready sometime in September to get sailing again. We'll head for Apia and do a 90 mile shakedown run.
