For 'topcoat', read 'raincoat'.....

It's pouring down and the deluge has completely overwhelmed the tent's ability to protect the cruiser deck.

It doesn't help that Pippin's superstructure is designed to drain-off aft onto the cruiser deck.

Needless to say, I'd just finished the first top-coat when the heavens opened.

Never mind. When water and paint have dried, I'll rub it all smooth and do it again.
