Finishing an Epoxy Job (Underwater)

I was still trying to figure out how to finish the sterntube epoxy job while I came accross this video. It answers a lot of questions. As I am finishing the power train install, this video comes up handy.

I may have been seen on red painted hulls with a single white stripe.Jean-du-Sud is winterized. A few bits of maintenance to be done in the spring, but she is overall in good shape.I will write more during the holidays and have a look back at the season. 2024 was an amazing year. In the meantime, happy holidays to all!#jeandusud #alberg30 #cruisinglife
Not posting much these days. Jean-du-Sud is slowly Not posting much these days. Jean-du-Sud is slowly undergoing it's haulout prep.One season later, the beta 20 still works like a charm. The sole noticable deterioration is the zinc anode that corroded fast and pretty badly. I am pretty proud of the fact that the engine (and its install) are amongst the most reliable elements on the boat.#jeandusud #alberg30 #betamarine

They use to make seed grinders for windmills from the rock there, hence the name.Pic 2: near Havre-Aubert ("Aubert's port"), the southern marina.Pic 3: Île d'entrée ("Entry island") in the fog induced by the Northeast (stormy) winds. You need to pass between the main island and this island to get to Havre-Aubert. Fun fact, the cows are free to roam on entry island, but the houses are fenced.All pictures taken from the city "Cap aux Meules" (near the cape) on the main island.Etang du Nord is very well protected, even in stormy days like today.We mostly run errands today.#jeandusud #alberg30 #cruisinglife

We are at anchor in Mont-Louis, a small fishing vi We are at anchor in Mont-Louis, a small fishing village in between the Chic-chocs mountains in Gaspésie. Mont-Louis is on the northernerst stretch of the south shore of the St-Lawrence. After Matane, the next big city (> 10 000 people) is Gaspé.Mont-Louis is a natural port, sheltered naturally by the mountains, and extended later with jetties. There are two or three of them in Gaspésie. Besides fishing and tourism, there is not much more (that I know of).Chic-chocs comes from the language of the Mic-Macs first nation, occupying the territory long before the first French settlements. It means "impenetrable barrier", and is a quite accurate description of the landscape. It looks like the Fjord on one side, but the St-Lawrence opens up on the other side, leaving the impression of the Atlantic coast. The other side of the river is 58 nautical miles north, and Anticosti island, seriously scouted by german u-boats during WWII, is about fifty nautical miles northeast.#jeandusud #alberg30 #cruisinglife #sailing #gaspesie

For those who know, the Canadian extension of the Apalachian trail goes through the park.Small sailing day, with the first ten miles with peaks of 5.6 knots, and the last remaining ten under engine.#jeandusud #alberg30 #cruisinglife
