So Much Sanding

I made this video which shows just a breif exerpt from my sanding marathon today. I finally finished all the strakes and planned on putting epoxy on everything else that needed epoxy tonight. I was delayed running some other errands so I got a late start. I also had to use the router on some of the parts I planned to coat, so I did that first. Then I decided it would be a good idea to glue the doublers to the transoms, and that pretty much wore me out. I also mixed way too much thickened epoxy to glue them and it went hot, which was a little freaky. The cup got so hot I started to worry it would burst into flames.

I almost gave up and nearly resolved to drink a beer and go to bed early, but being full of true grit, and since I hadn't showered yet, I returned to the garage and put the first coat on the bow and stern seats and the center bulkhead. I am now very tired.
