Operation Restore the Boat Activity for 1 June 2025

Wed, 28 May 25  

Good Day Shipmates 

We need everyone to assist us Sunday 1 June 2025 at Curtis Bay.

We will have the assistance of the Fire Department at the base under the command of Petty Officer 2nd Class Nico Cornejo who will be assisting us with removing the remaining decking so that we can get to the stringers of the boat.

The base will be without power and water for much of the day and they may need to respond to alarms, but we are going to try and do a cookout and will have water and sodas at the event.

The weather is supposed to be 72 and Uniform of the day will be BDU or ADU.

By the way this is just an FYI for all the Uniform is really a request of the Chief of the Fire Station and is just so that there is an Auxiliary Presence on the location.

 

This activity however will involve stripping equipment of the boat, and we will need people on the ground as well as on the boat to help organize and account and inventory what is coming off the boat so that we have a detailed list of items.

However, this will be a big weekend for this activity, and we will need as many hands as we can get.

This is also an official unit activity, so you do get credit for the time spent on it.

 The activity will begin at 1100 hours with FSO- FC David Hyde arriving on site.

We will be meeting with Chief Petty Officer Robb from the Fire Department to work on the boat and to show our appreciation for his assistance before he transfers to Station Alameda California

I have not discussed this with anyone yet, but we may see if we can also put a cookout together to thank him and the men of the Fire Department for their assistance, but I will advise about that,

This weeks activities will include the following

 

  1. Inventory equipment
  2. finish carpet rip out
  3. start the floor rip up

11 May 2025 Work party

Wed, 07 May 25  

FSO-FC David Hyde will be leading a work party to the boat on 11 May 2025 at 1000 hrs at Curtis bay

 

Activities will include the following work to be done.

 

  • Checking for electrical grounding issues to resolve electrical components not working.
  • Stripping the interior of remaining carpet on walls and ceiling and taking the deck up on the lower cabin
  • removing the insulation in the lower cabin.
  • removing cushions and getting measurements to replace.
the intention is to remove all the mold on the boat and get down to the core of the boat so we can replace rotten stringers ( wood components that are typically on the inside of boat to give it strength and tie the boat together)
