Thanks for the welcome
Ya, I really like Deltaville. I've lived in Va all my life and had never been there, now it's my new happy place! I bought the boat
on the hard there and have been working on it a year.
I changed the
portlights to tempered glass (not a great idea), pulled out the
head and filled those thru hulls. I changed the other two seacocks. Stripped and refinished the inside
wood. Removed all the stantions and filled and fixed all the freshwater
leaks. Faired the bottom and
hull and painted them. Now I have to replace the rubber
rubrail and standing
rigging, hope to splash this summer.
I bought this boat because it checked all my boxes and I didn't think I'd find another one that did...and I haven't. I was looking for the smallest boat I could imagine my wife and I staying in for a week that took an
outboard in a lazerette.
Deltaville is a great place to explore with many destinations within a day or so away. My long term plans are to take it to Elizabeth City and points south from there..
Thanks again for the welcome, hope to meet some of you along the way.
