I just finished( 12 pm) filling in the starboard side with filler and epoxy its a warm day down here around 28 tops with a stiff northerly wind ( hot wind).
Would it be possible to sand later today or should I leave it till tomorrow

Leave it till tomorrow, give it a light wash with soap to remove and waxes.

I will wait to sand it tomorrow . I did a little bit of sanding inside on the cut outs and will lay some more mat on both internal cabin sides tomorrow

Sanded down the port side needs a little bit more filler in a few low spots Once I sand the port side down Ill turn the boat again.
I wont cut out the new port light holes till every thing is ready. Probably mark them out next weekend if time allows . So happy to get to this stage
