This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Head Job

I reported earlier on the woeful state of the platform supporting the marine toilet in the head. 

Bruce did his usual outstanding job of designing and building a new support as well as preparing the floor for painting.  The work was not as easy as it sounds and required a good knowledge of glues, fillers, and coatings.

Head painted and ready for new toilet

Early in the week Bruce gave me the "all clear" for moving in and painting the area.  I had already prepared, primed, and painted the ceiling  bulkheads and various recesses with the usual "No Rust" primer and two coats of "Northane" 2-pack paint.  By Thursday evening the toilet and floors areas were painted and I handed the head back to Bruce for procuring and installing a new marine toilet.
