Today was spent detailing the aft generator. Chad and I were both full on scrubbing and cleaning today. All contaminants are being removed using de-greaser, wire brushes and clean rags. After it is painted it will get a white glove test (white glove being a clean white rag). Oil or water leaks observed after painting will be logged in the defect list and should be corrected immediately.

Cleaning is also well underway on the forward generator. A significant ammount of oil is visible in the drip pan. The plan is to clean, inspect, paint and identify any leaks.

The generator oil supply and drain hose, which is located at the bottom of the oil pan, broke off and recontaminated the oil drip pan while it was being cleaned. The oil was contained for the moment but the hose needs to be changed. The oil will need to be drained in order to change the hose since there is no cut off valve immediately after the oil pan. When the hose is changed a valve will be installed.

Sonny has put the primer coat on the repair job on the exterior of the boat and continued with painting engine room. The paint being used is very strong and the vapors have permeated throughout the boat. Time will dissipate any odors but I will be prudent and ventilate all areas of the vessel.

All workers have been used for half a day for the last few days. This has allowed me for better management of the projects at hand.

Pictures are not available today because of camera issues. I dropped it in the bilge. It is a simple thing that ruins the best laid plans. I will roll with it, besides the final product will be that more impressive.
