I have sanded down the first coat of filling epoxy on the icebox entrance and have put down a second. I'm pretty sure this will do it, and once it is sanded smooth I will paint it to match the inside. Still not sure if I want to paint the cover or leave it the way it is.
I have also been picking away at the head and hanging locker areas. In the hanging locker I made some cardboard templates for the shelves that will be towards the back. I have also been thinking about changes to the front. It was supposed to have a bar for hanging jackets and such, but I'm not sure I'm going to do that. It would be nice, but this isn't going to be a boat I'm living on, just using for day trips and maybe an occasional overnighter. I'm thinking about making it into a storage area for the unused sails and sail bags, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Anyone have any suggestions?
In the head I finished removing stuff I didn't get around to finishing earlier. I also decided to put a couple of shelves back where the holding tank used to be rather than wasting the space. If I put in another holding tank it is going to be in the V berth so this opened up quite a bit of space. To trim it out I will use a nice teak frame that used to be back here that was painted a garish purple color. Who would do that? I sanded it down today using 60 grit just to get the majority of the old paint off. I will be going over this with progressively finer grits before varnishing it. The before and after pictures are below.
