That set the work for the day, first, drill out the wet spots marked with a cross, second, brush over all filled spots with unthickened epoxy and third, apply a final coat of filler to all spots marked with a circle. I am pleased to say that there were more spots that were fair than not and fewer still that needed drilling out.
Whilst I had epoxy filler in my hands I finished one or two other little jobs around the boat. The cockpit lockers have been cleaned and are ready to be refitted, the old holes in the cockpit locker lids have been filled ready for their new hinges to be fitted, the carbon hatch can be drilled to take the Lewmar hatch handles and the scars in the topsides, thanks to some Bridlington cradle rash, have been filled ready for repainting.
