This is the image I sorta had in my head when we started this whole painting thing. Yeah, we still have to paint the bottom (with more paint, dollar-wise, than we’ve used so far), but that’s the below-water part. This is what I want people to see when I sail up alongside.

And I really dig it.

A side note: now that the scruffiness of the original paint has been replaced with this shiny newness, the boat, in person, looks a little toy-like. That was unexpected.
