18.oo Finished with the 1st coat of chocolate brown bottom paint. One more to go then that's it concerning the painting job, apart from the dinghy. It's going to match the Francis Lee,  like a "mini-me". bob's really happy to finally reap some of the fruits of his weeks of grinding out her bottom (ooops, that's sounds strange, he he). Everyone walking by comments on how good she's looking. Still quite a few things left to do though. Definetly need the rest of this week to finish it off.                                     Been sorting through all those pictures on board. Got 3 albums now: Francis Lee, Europe and "LBK" - Bob's life before Katja.

Later: Bob just arrived at the boat with 3 AGM batteries, each worth around $ 300 new. A customer wanted to have all his 3 batteries exchanged but only 1 of them is faulty... Our luck, right?!
