Today, Sunday, we went over to the building site with brooms and a bucket for splashing water around – to try and make the rock Gneiss a bit more camera friendly. \u00a0Along the driveway we achieved great success – everywhere else – not so much. \u00a0The good pictures below.<\/p>\n

I also broke out the scrub brush to start prepping boats for the 2015 summer season. \u00a0Unfortunately, I discovered that Dad’s hi-performance single shell has started to delaminate along the joint between the deck and hull – in several places. \u00a0One split was over 2 feet long. \u00a0Interest was low in rowing in it, now the rot may be enough to consider it as a total write off.<\/p>\n

My mom’s shell is a Maas Aero<\/a> (if i recall correctly), made in Richmond California, across the bay from San Francisco \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0 It is a really sweet boat – very handy, stable but still fast and efficient. \u00a0Just a lot of fun. \u00a0That boat is in great shape still.<\/p>\n

So good stuff – more to do – but a good start in advance of Memorial Day!<\/p>\n

\"cleaning<\/a>

cleaning up boats for the 2015 season. Two single shells and a ride on top surf kayak. My dad’s high performance shell, which has not been used in several seasons, unfortunately showed a half a dozen delaminations between the deck and hull. Since it is very lightly built, the loss of integrity has turned it into a bit of noodle. We may come to a decision to apply fiberglass in long strips along the joints but due to its age, I think the decision is likely to come back as it is terminal rot.
