Progress Report from Robbins Reef

July 12, 2022 by Megan Beck

Robbins Reef Trip Report, Tuesday, July 12, 2022
Noble Crew:
  Decklyn Uttmark and Gus Scott 
Conditions: Sun and clouds, 80◦s 
Access:  Left Miller’s at 10:25 on the Nicholas Miller captained by James Hyndman and returned at 5:00 PM.

Purpose of the trip: The purpose of the trip was to continue painting the exterior. 

Tasks accomplished: With Decklyn spotting him, Gus scraped and painted the panels on the underside of the Watch Gallery and the long panel below it. 

The photos are worth a thousand words. Gus took them, and they show not only what he has been doing but how he does it.

Next steps: More of the same! And work on interior projects, such as the Watch Gallery ceiling and door, the dog door in the Light Gallery, and the floors.  We also hope to tackle the metal in the promenade and of course the red portion of the exterior.
