Here are some photos when Alex re-sealed the hatches in the saloon.

| Balsa core |
 |
| About a centimeter of balse core removed all around |
 |
| Plastic container taped to the ceiling to catch the balsa core |
 |
Sanded and filled the cavity with epoxy bog - to prevent water from leaking into the balsa core
He also epoxied a 3mm PVC board so that the hatch is raised and thus less likely for water to seep in |

| All done! |
Note: Alex re-sealed the hatch on the port side in February and the one on the starboard side in May! Bit by bit.. we'll get there! 😎
