Today I found some more fronds down the street from the job. I also seen some of the redish fronds that have teeth which was cut at another location. They are near by so I'll be able to pick them up sometime this weekend.
I turned the boat over and prepared it for hurricane Irma. I doubt the boat would have remained intact if the hurricane was a category 2 like hurricane Mathews was a year ago. Fortunately for us, the hurricane turned I.To a tropical storm when it reached Georgia. I'm getting ready to turn the boat back over again so I can finish securing the " Noodles" onto the bottom of the hull! The boat sits up nice and high which is an add plus besides the boat being buoyant. I
It rained yesterday but the"Noodles" remained a tight bond even though there was wet adhesive. I removed more soft adhesive and the "Noodles" were stll bonded together. Applying the sealant helped. I finally bout 3 cans of rubber coating and well applying another coat before I start working on the other side.
As I was looking around at the fronds that I had propped up against the house, I decided to see how they would fit on the bottom of the underside of the hull! These fronds have a natural xurve to them that I thought is a better choice to use in order to get a more rounded hull bottom. These pieces came from fronds that were different sizes in length. Some being 8ft which I cut into smaller pieces. The next step is to see how I'm going to add these pieces to the hull. At the moment I thinking with thin nail of considerable length. Wanting to do something the way you imagine you could don't always work out the way you think they will.
