Except the obvious, Mrs Lincoln...

...how did you enjoy the play?

Other than sanding, I've enjoyed making progress on a few items:

Making some eyestraps, step one.

Eyestraps cut out and glued to the keel fairing plate.

These are to hold bungie cord ends, to keep the plate up tight to the hull bottom as the keel pivots, or is raised and lowered.

Keel fairing plate in position. This is also the second coat of primer which I tinted light grey by adding a few scoops of graphite powder. Not a great idea- the primer did turn light grey, but a significant amount of the powder didn't dissolve/incorporate into the primer and came out of the gun as little black patches. Oh, well- it just looks goofy, no harm.

Made the jig (it's in the 2nd pic above) and cut out the jibing wedges for the keel. There are two coupling nuts that are now buried/bonded in the keel so I can just screw the plastic wedges on from outside.

So the hull bottom is just about as perfect as I can get it, so it'll get painted in another day or two. And I've had a different idea for the topsides paint scheme, so that will emerge in a few days as well.
