How late does it stay light there at this time of year?

Hello,

Sun up at 04:44   and down at 8:51 PM. It is dusk for 30 min after and at least 30 min before.
I'm going on a business trip today, and are up early, but it is already daylight.

We had rain last night, otherwise it is no problem for me to get quite a bit done after getting home from work.

I finally got the top coat applied this week. We had one day with nice warm weather...
Yesterday and today I wet sanded the transom, and Tomorrow I will continue with more fine grit paper.
It was windy tonight, but with a couple of beers it was possible...

Thanks for the nice words!

There is a lot more to do, but I'm picking away at it.
 Feels great to install some new shiny bits finally.

Thanks Craig!
Today I didn't do much on the boat. The weather has been rain on and off today...
Spent the time cleaning my man cave, accumulating some plus points...

Eco-Wolf should be proud too. Seeing the kind of work that can be done with their product.

Excellent rebuild thread Lars. Keep it coming. :thumright:

Thanks Rick,
I'm very glad to have you guys as support. When it comes time for the electrical system, I hope I can get some help in this forum.
That electrical part of the project scares me a little bit.
