Today we applied the new name graphics We brought them from NZ where our friend Ian had designed and produced them for us – STUNNING!!
It seemed to take the most part of the day what with washing and cleaning the fibreglass in preparation for the graphics. Then, place the graphic for positioning and mark the spot. Then apply soapy water to the area as well as to the graphic. Finally peel the graphic from the cover, apply soapy water and then place graphic onto boat. Lastly wait for it to dry and painstakingly remove the backing while ensuring that all bubbles are removed from underneath the vinyl graphic.
Last thing is to stand back and admire it. then repeat whole process fro two more graphics.
In between all this, chat with Dave for a while, have lunch and chill.
At the end of the day, sit back on the deck with a beer in hand and watch the big cruise ship leave port!
Next will be to have the official “naming” ceremony.
Congratulations on your new boat !!!! (we have a 32′ bayliner) I sure like to read your blog. It is interesting to read about your new adventure. Can’t wait to see pics of the ICW and eventually the Bahamas. Keep the pics comming. jb (victoria,bc, canada)
