Paul,
Did you paint the frame of your foreward hatch? It looks as new.

Here's a picture of mine. Notice the flaking.
The PO put the (non-working) solar vent on there, not me. I would have to replace the lens to rid myself of it.

Great photos. Your crew looks delighted to be aboard and all outfitted in PFDs, nice!

Jim,

No I have not painted the hatch frames. The paint, which seems like the original, looks like epoxy or baked enamel, is holding up very well. I only wipe them down with a little vinegar or Fantastik every now and then. Femme is on Lake Superior, which although cold and worthy of the songs they sing, is very kind to boat surfaces.

Skeep, yes I had a very happy crew. The best. And we are pretty good about wearing real PFD's here. It is usually not too humid to make them uncomfortable and if you ever fall in Lake Superior, you only have about 20 minutes of effective time before starting to lose it. A PDF can at least give you a fighting chance.

Head up this weekend for the last sail. Back to those s/v Delos you tube videos all winter I guess. Big sigh. One project this winter will be to repair the dinghy and make a good photo slide show of the summer sailing season.
