I'm in the middle of painting the boat right now.   Well, not actually at this moment.  What I mean is that nearly half the boat has been painted so far.   The previous owner had the hull sides and bottom of the boat painted back in January of 2011. So the only area really needing paint is the topsides. The cabin top, cap rails and gunwales, cockpit lazarettes and nonskid decks are the areas I'm focused on now.  Where o where to start...? This is a shot of my broker and friend Randy Hinely on the helm as we sail across the Gulf of Mexico on delivery home to Niceville. You can see the areas of concern in the cabin top bulkhead.  The duct tape is covering an old portlight that had been removed.  Also the engine gauges were mounted in this same bulkhead area.  It reminded me of a oversized cars dashboard... not very nautical. Plans to change these things began immediately underway.   Another shot of us sailing back across the Gulf of M...
