Garrett and Ruth complete two of the most labor-intensive stages of a five-month haulout aboard Red Aviva, a George Buehler design: refastening the entire bottom with bronze screws and fiberglassing the deck and pilot house.▶ 23:44 The refastening project consumed a box of 8,000 screws from the original sheathing job plus additional pounds ordered by weight; Garrett estimates the screws have a 10-year lifespan underwater, with each one rolled in tar and driven by hand to protect the coating.▶ 0:31 Ruth finishes the final fiberglass panels on the fo'c'sle and the aft end of the pilot house, exhausting their fourth full roll of biaxial cloth.▶ 7:47 The crew drives four hours across the border into Arizona — to Phoenix, with packages held by a friend in Ajo as a backup — to collect new rudder hardware fabricated by a contact named Gary: new pintles, gudgeons, and a stern bearing housing designed with crush bolts for future bearing removal without improvised tools.▶ 9:01 The engine, with roughly 6,000 miles on it and no mechanical failures, is assessed as healthy; only external components need attention and the driveline stays as-is.▶ 4:05 With both the refastening and fiberglassing now complete, the boat moves into fairing, sanding, and paint preparation before launch.▶ 15:32
