Fixing up the dingy

Today we went up to one of the two dingy's to paint the lower part of the dingy (by the way the dingy is a Hobie Getaway it is similar to the racing sail boats you see in the tournaments so it has two hulls connected by three transom bars with nets strung between them so you can walk on the dingy.)

So to paint the lower part of the hulls, we had to put tape just above the part we were repainting so we didn't paint the white part of the hull. (By the way, this picture was taken after we painted it.) The part where we put the tape on the lower part of the hull was pretty annoying because there were a lot of bugs, and I had a hard time lining the tape with the paint. but we eventually got it done and finish the paint job. Then the next day we put it in the water and since the boat has a small electric motor on it, we used it to get the dingy to the Jai Nimai Nitai. 

Well, that's it for me today, again I would appreciate supportive comments and feedback from you guys that are following my blog. Good Bye!
