Default Sandblasting the Hull.

FINALLY I received word that the sandblaster was ready for the hull.

It was 232 days, or 33 weeks or 6 months and 8 days, since the Lynx was pushed into my shed on the 10th March, but who was counting.

Off the stands and on to the trailer it went and off to Bairnsdale.

A fork lift was arranged to get it off the trailer and into the sandblasting booth.

A large wooden beam was placed onto the floor to sit the hull on. The forklift then went around to the front for the next lift.
