sand and (finally) paint

well the first coat of primer went great....

then i sanded it all off. 

it really smoothed up nicely though. i used 120-180 grit on my orbital. 

then, another coat of primer

then i followed with 220 grit

and finally paint

and after the second coat....she is gorgeous

i added the rudder thanks to my neighbor gary

after that i rigged up the cleats and oarlocks

and she is absolutely perfect

now i just need to rig out for sailing, finish the rudder work, and get lots of rope. ive ordered my name.....calypso, after my home town.
