		<title>Midsummer coastal life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boat and computer work take up most of my time but I also get out to enjoy some of the sites and events in this area of the North Carolina Coast.  The event calendar remains pretty full out here and there is a good variety of options for entertainment.  One of my favorite things to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bilge Cleanout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past month my boat work has primarily been focused on cleaning and preparing the bilge area for planned layup of fiberglass and epoxy.  This work has involved lots of grinding, sanding and fiberglass irritated skin.  When I haven&#8217;t felt like putting on the protective gear and getting into the bilge work I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sailboat windows and hatches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recent hard rains have proven that the big leaks are now gone.  I haven&#8217;t been able to find small leaks either but I&#8217;m still rebedding the remaining deck hardware, ports, windows and other possible sources for future leaks.  In the last few days I&#8217;ve rebedded a few more lifeline stanchions and have rebuilt/sealed the small [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pearson Fore Hatch Restoration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another small victory has been won towards the restoration of my Pearson 28-1 in the form of a clean, functional and shiny forward hatch. The forward hatches on many Pearson sailboats are layed up without gelcoat on the top and bottom surfaces to allow some light to pass into the boats cabin.  Since the polyester [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pearson 28-1 window resealing and cleanup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My recent boat work has been focused on repairing deck leaks since it will be easier to do the interior and hull work that is needed if the interior of the boat stays dry when it rains.  For the last month I&#8217;ve been away from the boatyard but I wanted to share a little about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back at the boatyard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three months, three thousand miles and some cold weather have passed and I&#8217;m again in Beaufort North Carolina working on my boat at Bock Marine.  The past months of visiting family and friends, celebrating the holidays, and all of the many other adventures have been great but it may be even better to be back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photos from around Bock Marine and Beaufort NC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few photos that I have taken recently that aren&#8217;t related to my sailboat restoration project. The only photo that may need explanation is the one of the bunk-bed with soldiers playing checkers.  This bed is an accurate replica of the bunks used by soldiers stationed at Fort Macon during the civil war [...]]]></description>

		<title>No more old bottom paint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I finished removing the old layers of bottom paint from my boat, finally.  This process turned out to be as much about my learning how to remove bottom paint as it was about actually removing the paint.  I spent a lot of extra time and effort in use of slow, shoulder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sailboat cleaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In preparation for the many repair tasks that need to be performed on my Pearson 28-1 I have been spending my boat-work time cleaning the boat. My primary cleanup tasks focused on washing out the entire interior of the boat so that it will be easier to keep the bilge clean when I do my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boats on a foggy morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I awoke sometime before dawn.  Instead of trying to go back to sleep I waited for the first signs of light and then headed out for a walk.  It was a very foggy morning and so I took some photos of boats currently at Bock Marine. A great variety of boats [...]]]></description>
