What a rare opportunity that weather window was. The bottom would have been a tight squeeze to get done before my currently scheduled launch day but now it's just a matter of taping the waterline and slapping on a couple more coats of antifouling.

And then there's the alternator adjusting bracket I designed. I had the rough shape cut out and did the grinding and drilling here and installed it yesterday. The adjusting bracket that came with the retrofit alternator mount wouldn't adjust tight enough, and wouldn't go loose enough to get on a smaller belt so I designed this. We'll see how it goes.
