Aloha Trim, Hello Pink Cloud!

I bid "Aloha" to Trimming Out.  She is currently for sale and is moored in the Berkeley Marina.

The jetty entrance to the Berkeley Marina.

Trim is the boat to the left of the dark-colored boat and now sports California registration numbers.

But first, Paul did a bit of touching-up to make her look her best!

 Sanding and teak oiling the rub-rails and retouching the paint.

HEY, that was MY job!

Taking down both the US and Hawaiian flags for the last time...

getting sentimental here.

 A beautiful Berkeley sunset from Trim.

Trim's "neighbor," a Guppy-13.

It's a real boat, the kids sailed it.

And, a final photo of Jan cooking in Trim's galley.

We bid "Goodbye " to Trim where she is with a broker who will find her a new owner...

sniff.

And... head to Napa Valley Marina to...

PINK CLOUD!

No more "Bath, Maine,"

Pink's a local girl now!

Like the teal waterline striping that Paul put on?

 Paul making the custom mahogany bow sprit.

 Rough fit.  

Underneath will be a woven net that we can lay in to watch the dolphins play as we sail.

Pretty cool, huh?

Here's a stock photo I found to sort of give you an idea of the netting underneath.

Freshly painted hull all done! 

Paul applied a chemical paint stripper that bubbles up to remove the old paint on the anchor bow and block.

The anchor chain goes over the rollers.
Pink has 400' of chain and a windlass that, with the push of the foot button, brings up the chain and deposits it into the hold.  Paul plans to add a hose bib so we can spray off any muck/sand.

After much sanding and prepping the bowsprit was restored and painted to how it originally was.  Good old VW van, Blue!

 The custom bow sprit from the underside showing off the chrome rail unit we got at "Second Wave" in Seattle last year.
Paul built the walk platform that now supports the chrome rail and the safety lines will tie into this.

Pink's hull looks GREAT!

As always, stay tuned as there's more to come!
