Finished Scraping and Alberg 30 Spring Rendezvous

· Justin · Alberg 30, People

Last Saturday we went to Bay Ridge and enjoyed an afternoon with the rest of the Albergers. There was a flea market with some interesting gear, we picked up a set of signal flags and books. Good deals to be had!

The guys on the grill made some excellent chicken and hotdogs.

Rene is training a service dog. Looks like rough work to me!

Next we finally finished scraping the bottom of the boat. It's taken forever partly because of the rain which has been limiting the work we've been able to accomplish.

We've started the sanding now. Getting down to the gelcoat is exciting and the boat is looking naked!

We did find an issue with our rudder and we're still trying to figure out how to deal with it. The leading edge has a crack that runs most of the way down.
