Its been several weeks in the making, but I think I have finally dried the boat -in. Isabella and I were left at home for the weekend and Isabella helped me work on the boat. This included replacing the Harkin cam cleats. I used roofing cement to set the cam cleats and the jib haylard eye bolt.

A couple of weeks ago, I stepped on a cleat and it broke off. This required me to buy another one and reset with roofing cement. I bought an 8"cleat originally thinking bigger was better, but in the end the bolt holes did not line up, so I had to get another 6" cleat that matched the original and the bolt holes lines up.

I did a water test of the bow and found that one of the bolts was leaking water when it started to pond. We took this bolt out and replaced the fender washer with a large washer and resealed with roofing cement.
