Wet blankets covered by tarps to slow the drying out.

   An effort this summer to complete Jado's hull, most urgently the underside so that she can be placed right side up on her trailer for storage whilst we are in Japan.  Seams are all cleaned out and primed in red lead, and she is currently hibernating under some wet blankets to prepare her for caulking.  Monday 25th she will go up to Herbert's workshop (still inverted, but on the trailer) and we will spend a couple of days getting as much done as possible, before priming the hull and turning her with Herbert's gantry.  Then she will be ready for the next phase, which is installing mechanical components and fitout, once we return from Japan in a couple of years.
    Meanwhile I have found the perfect storage, in an open-ended shed on a property in Kumeu.  Far preferable to a commercial lockup where she would be outside in the sun.  Will post photo's hopefully, will need to borrow a camera to do this.
