Welding on the Keel | Electrolysis Corrosion Repair

Quiet night in the Wrangell shipyard before we sandblast the port side of the Alaskan Gypsy. This corner of the keel had acted like a sacrificial anode over the years, dissolving from electrolysis after the sacrificial anodes (zincs) had all been. consumed. I’m filling it back in with 6010 rod, overhead, one fat bead at a time. It’s nice laying down doing some calm relaxing overhead 6010 late in the evening. In this short: • Overhead welding on the keel corner • Repairing electrolysis damage • Relaxed night-shift shipyard vibes Sometimes it’s not about finishing - it’s about staying with the work until the lights go out. ⸻ #AlaskanGypsy #SteelBoat #Welding #ShipyardLife #SailboatRefit #BoatRestoration #HullRepair #6010Rod #BoatDIY
