Anacapa Pilothouse Motorsailers

          Hey everybody! We finally applied the second (and last) coat of primer yesterday. All went well, but that Interlux primer just doest like to lay down. Should be an easy sanding this time though... We are also working on the cockpit trim right now. We are using grey plastic lumber, and so far the results are really neat. Pics to follow.

One of the staples holding the certificate into the frame fell out, and along with it was this:

It's an original "Boat Card" from the original owners, Trish and Ken! Great artwork! I'm guessing it's around 33 years old, and in pretty darn good shape. That's it for now... we've gotta go pack! Chris and Marisa
