Cooler morning after the overnight rain, but soon back to hot and sunny again. Up early and back to work. In the morning we painted the port side and in the afternoon we did the starboard side, finishing the third coat of Comastic blacking. When we finished the morning panting Mike did some welding around the stern, filling in bits and securing the strap that holds the rudder trim tab in place. At lunchtime he went to Castorama to get some special “diluant” (sythetic) thinners as the paint in the last tin we’d opened was very thick and they had no diluant in Casino (Bill had looked for some for us when he went shopping) He came back with a pack (no singles) of stick-on letters to redo the name around the stern once it had been repainted. Finished painting at 4.30 p.m. and Mike did some welding on Rosy.
