Facing the bow, on the hard ground.

The repaired blisters and the bare spots of fiberglass were painted
over with primer.

Facing the port beam. This shows Myste's full keel rather well. The
paint cost US$160 a gallon: one gallon was enough for a little more
than one coat. Myste got two full goats, and then parts of her got
a third coat.

This is the 'before' picture of Myste's rudder, showing the propeller and
the 'self-bailing system' holes above it. The red paint is the coat that
was under the blue coat--- the blue had worn off.
|
|
This is the 'after' picture of Myste's rudder. I used red paint
because it had 3 percent more copper than the other available Trinidad
bottom paint.

The stern of Myste. The Port of Origin reads 'Earth, Sol System.'
