More sanding..

When you've got 31 feet of water line, that means there's a fair amount of bottom.  Sanding to prep for new bottom paint might normally be a quick job, but in this particular case there are, at the least, several coats of paint preexisting in various conditions.  Never the less, an hour here and there will eventually add up - witness the before and after pictures from this morning.
             

I also sanded along the chine at the bow, not pictured here.

The hardest part of any project is making the time, and returning to it consistently.  This is something I still struggle with, but without consistency the project takes even longer.

Another interesting thing about this stage of sanding is that it's a lot more comfortable to do in the shade, so I've been focusing on the port side of the boat.  I'm going to have to start sanding in the evenings (or rotate the boat!) to get the starboard side sanded.
