先週故障したモーターが修理中の為、この土・日は、どうしても、セーリングの次になってしまうボートのメンテナンスに費やしたロブさんと私。ハーバーで一泊したけれども、島が恋しく。。。
修理の対象になったのは、ハッチ（昇降口）カバー。雨漏りの原因となっている疑いがあり、取り外して検証することに。３日がかりの大仕事。釘穴と、キャビントップの凹みはエポキシ樹皮で埋め固め、新たな釘穴をもうけた後、日曜日、全体に水防止策を施してから、取り付け直した。
この仕事を試すのに必要なのは、雨。雨が、物を言う。
Rob took the hatch cover off last Friday. Because there have been water drops from a couple of screw holes of it for at least last 3 years. We knew it would be a big job. That is partly why we didn't do it. But the biggest reason would be there were more important issues to take care of with the boat.
Anyway, we finally faced the issue. Because we could not go sailing because of the failure of Atomic 4's cooling system we discovered during last trip.
Epoxy treatment, sanding, applying teak oil, making new screw holes, re-bedding, after all of these were done, the hatch cover was installed.
Now, we wait for rain to test.
