Note how much nicer the bow looks already...
After a morning spent watching the start of the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race, I headed over to the Clinton St Marina to help with maintenance on Akimbo. There was a great turn-out and the crew had already gotten the bottom scraped and started painting by the time I got there. I spent most of the time working on the top-sides taking a Brillo pad and some FSR to the vairous stains, scuffs and scrapes that had accumulated in the 3 years since her last haul-out. It's hard work but it made a big difference, I think, and she looks a lot nicer now.
