Raining in Deltaville!

We are still in Deltaville! Hope to finish up our canvas this week and be on our way to Florida sometime next week. It's been raining for the last two days here. We are at a fitting stage of the next two sections of canvas and can't do it in the rain. I'm hoping for a dry day tomorrow Tuesday so it can be done. 

We have found jobs to do in the meantime though. Larry is changing our fuel filters in the picture. Not an easy job because one of the filters is under the bed. Nothing is ever easy on a boat. After that he changed the oil filter. 

In this picture Larry is in the process of grinding out a soft spot on this piece of fiberglass that covers our steering mechanism. He started out thinking it would be a quick job until he got into it. As usual nothing is ever easy. After he ground out the soft area we had to devise a form so when he poured epoxy filler (West System) into it it didn't run all over. We used metal flashing used on roofs as our form. In order that the fiberglass didn't adhere to the metal, we covered it with melted paraffin. It worked great, now the soft spot is firm again. 

This is what our sky has looked like the past couple of days. Very dark and gloomy. 

This was a beautiful sunset before the rain hit.
