We spent a few more hours picking at Nellie's bottom these last few days. The gel coat that now remains is sticking pretty well. The plan is to put bottom paint on and wait a few years before re-addressing the peeling gel coat. I did find one small blister (dime sized) yesterday on the port side, just aft and 10" below the four through-hulls. The rest of the hull appears to be fine. The bottom was painted with Interlux Micron CSC. The rudder's packing gland and the hose which attaches it to the hull was replaced. This required the rudder to be removed. A new Diver's Dream 6"x12" was installed.
