Hey lovely Peeps!
We've been busy bees and managed to sand down the larger of the 2 impacts (aft impact) and laid the first 5 sheets of fiberglass on the outside. Wohoo! 🥳🥳
So at least this one is sealed now since we had a few heavy rain showers in the meantime. 😱
For the first 2 days of our repairs, we had a gentleman from Spain helping us but unfortunately, he did not feel comfortable of rebuilding the bulkhead and hull after all.
So, now it is up to us to become fiberglass specialists and get CUBA back in shape. 💪💪
Now that the aft is sealed with the first fiberglass sheets, we put our attention to the front damage and - uff - after clearing out all the debris there, we got yet another, even bigger hole in our boat! 🤦♀️🤦♂️
We still have a assess the damage here a bit more but hopefully this is more of less what it is.
It's all good though - we are staying positive and make sure to keep our energy levels topped up with some good 'local' cuisine.... 😜
We added some captions to the pictures so it is easier to see which ones are from the aft and which ones from the front impact.
Lotsa love and big hugs from two extra salty sailors 😅🙈
