So, back to present time and Orca. The first thing to do is to use a high pressure sand/water blasting to get all the barnacles and loose paint off.

Been away only a few days (motoring holiday of wine region, incorporating a wedding anniversary), only to come back to the most marvellous photos and posts. Birds and other wildlife, boats and their maintenance, house on a little island, melting snow and waterways, even a beautiful quilt made by school kids. All that interesting reading to catch up on. Thanks everyone:)

It's good to see you back Andrew. Your break sounded idyllic. A belated Happy Anniversary!

I hope there was a co-driver so that one of you could enjoy wine sampling to the full ;)

Thanks.... LOL... :);). Her name has been Orca since she was built in 1959. She's a 38', classic Herreshoff ketch, designed by L. Francis Herreshoff. :)

I was looking at your photo of the sanded down transom, are you going to have to replace some hull planking?
 
Great pics, everybody! Looks like Spring is here with all these pics of birds, flowers and everything in between!
