A hole is filled

June 30, 2024 /

Just a quick update to let you know, we did manage to fill the hole in our boat before we left!

Our piece has a few ‘dry patches’ on it but these will be taken care of when we do the final securing of the piece in the boat. Kevin will make trips down when he can to complete the repair job but we are so happy to know that Seasura is in one piece again and likely much more secure while it stays on the hard in Port Canaveral until we are ready to move her.

Lifting the piece into place.
Holding it in place with tape temporarily.

Close up of the handles we created on the piece to help us lift it up.
Wood strips are added to secure it in place. Black tape was used to help fill the crack with thickened epoxy from the other side.
The final result. The handles will be ground off as a next step before scarfing both the inside and outside for a more secure joint.
