Day 2: Today captain Mike gave me the oppurtunity to sand both of the fish ho
Day 1: Today was my first day working the the Tribute Sport fishing boat and I was shown the basics of the entire boat. I was introduced to the entire crew. I was also told what everything on the boat was and where everything belongs. For the rest of the day I shadowed everyone. I think that tomorrow will kinda be the same because it is my first couple of days on the boat and I dont know very much yet.
Day 2: Today was a lot more different than yesterday because I was given the task to sand the inside of the fish holds. After sanding every inch of the fish hold I vacuumed up all of the dust. After vacuuming everything I wiped the fish hold down with aceton to make sure that all the dust is gon. There two fish holds on the boat, one for whole fish and the second for feilled fishA fish hold is a little 4x4x3 compartment where all the fish caught are stored. After finishing the fish holds I watched the crew use 5200 calk to fill all of the cracks and holes.
Day 3: Today I didn't really do that much because the crew mixed resign and fiber glassed both of the fish hold. while the crew was fiber glassing the fish holds I put bleach and soap in a five gallon bucket and then added water. I used this mixture to scrub down the entire boat. I used a soft brush for the wheel house, the rails , the outside of the boat, and anywhere else there is white paint. I used a harder brush for the deck of the boat.
Day 4: Today we painted the inside of the fish holds with a kind of paint called Gel Coat. The Importance of the Gel Coat is to protect the inside of the fish holds and it also make the fish holds easier to clean. The Gel Coat is a hard slick paint that make it easier for the fish scales and fish guts to be washed off.
Day 5: Today was the last day of the week and the work did not become any easier. I had to wash the boat again because it is one of those things that everyone has to know, because when we go fishing the boat will have to be washed every time we find a school of fish. After the fish is caught and gaffed there is a lot of blood that gets on the deck of the boat. And if the blood is not washed off the boat soon after the fish is caught the blood can stain the boat.
