Rain Rain - redux.....

Prined and almost ready to go....
Will it EVER stop raining? The boat, as you can see, is primed and almost ready to paint, it just needs a scuff sanding now. You'll notice the primer is not straight at the bottom, there's a reason for that: the next step will be to bring in a bootstripe line, to which I'll raise the bottom paint, and to which I'll lower the new finish coat. But first of all, it has to stop raining. I keep wondering when I'll find a lineup, two by two of all God's creatures, standing at the bottom of the ladder?
Been thinking, maybe I can just go with battleship grey?
I am so tired of being on the hard...
Update - 
It's stopped raining at last, so I'm on to doing the bottom paint, but only the waterline at the bootstripe. Tomorrow, when the paint is dry and there is only a 10% chance of rain, we'll mark in and paint the new bootstripe, and then be ready the next day for the first coat of Interlux Perfection.
Soon, soon....
Further Update - 
It's raining again....how do those weathermen keep their jobs when they're this inaccurate? Sheesh!
