Window installation
Günter Reindl on Cora Mae has been in Brazil for some time and knows Salvador quite well. He introduced me to an excellent little cafe in the Pelourinho.
In the afternoon I helped him with some boat repairs and re-installed my window. This is always a messy job as the sealant is squeezed out when the frame is tightened into position. The trick is to wait until the sealant has started to set before tightening.
Window frame with old sealant removed. The gelcoat had been damaged at original installation. This was repaired with epoxy filler.
Later I spent the evening on Cora Mae being treated to Günter's cooking and music.
