This weekend I got an acceptable amount of work done, though not as much as I would have liked. Ashley helped me get the first coat of paint on the mast. It's looking a lot better. Not as good as if I had stripped it to bare metal and had it painted by a pro, but still a big improvement over what it was. I could have done a second coat, but the threat of rain made me hold off. I also got a used Plastimo Olympic 135 off of eBay. I had to open the cutout in the binnacle for it to fit, but it's a perfect fit. The last thing I got done was resealing the glass in the hatch. I had to pull the glass, clean the whole thing, then use windshield urethane to reseal / glue it back in place. The glass was warped in the corners, so I'm not sure that it is going to fully seal. If not, I'll have to buy new Plexiglas for it.
