S2E28 applying barrier coat on the hull (Dominican Republic)

Despite a few small obstacles, I manage to get the first coat of barrier on the hull. It’s not over yet. There’s still a lot of painting to do and my cast makes it super difficult and annoying. It’ll take me probably a week to finish prepping for Coppercoat.
