Pilothouse Door Update
Here are before and after photos of Carrie Rose's pilothouse doors. The refinishing project went smoothly but took quite a bit of time. If I was charging by the hour it would have been expensive. The main lesson learned is patience. It is one step at a time with days needed between each step to let things dry. Next year it will be the aft salon's doors chance to shine.
While I am uploading photos, here is a 2019 Google Map satellite picture showing Atlantic Boat where we keep Carrie Rose. Herrick Bay is below and the rest of the boatyard is above. This is a good vantage point to compare the size difference between the Nordic Tug Sir Tugley Blue at 37' and Carrie Rose at 32'. That's our white Honda Accord Coupe to give a sense of size. It is also a lesson in displacement; a 37 is much bigger than a 32!
