We took a bit of a break from working on the Yellowbird to visit San Antonio for the AFBMT graduation of one of our sons. We loved San Antonio with its heat but low humidity! But no where to use our trawler!
June 21
First official day of summer vacation (for me) and we worked on the
Yellow Bird! We removed the top of the
fiberglass pocket at sliding door threshold. Shawn cut the bulkhead that held
rotting 2*4 that was supporting the sliding door frame. We cleaned out the all
the rotten wood.

We spent all day working on the door frame floor support. Shawn
removed the bad section of floor support on the aft and port side of saloon
door.
He then replaced the aft saloon floor support. He then
sandwiched salt treated lumber and stainless steel bolts, the door frame
support (by sandwiching salt treated 2*4 and stainless steel bolts into the
existing pocket).

I am out of town visiting my kiddos in South Carolina. Shawn
continues to plug away on the small things that need to be done (and which do
not require my help!). He sanded and oiled the teak trim on the cockpit. It
looks great! So…I think we are going to paint the cockpit? Before we put her
over? Maybe after we put her over. I think that will be a GREAT fall project so we
can have a few weeks of enjoyment.
