Today Gabe and Dan continued bonding the C-channels to the beams, positioned the hinges, and began bonding those as well. The small carbon rods shown are to mark the center of the hinge holes and to help the guys position the hinges correctly. They used two laser levels positioned at right angles to sight the rods.
A long Sargassum windrow today, and two different kite camera rigs, one, gyro-stablized, that hangs from the line, and one small carbon one that mounts directly to the kite. Expedition log: http://www.schmidtocean.org/story/show/658
Vincent and Damon continue to sand and fill the hulls. Today Damon primed the hulls again. Tomorrow they’ll do some spot filling and prime again. After that, wet-sanding.
