The weather has been really good the past few days with highs in the 80's and lows in the 70's. Some rain but mostly at night. What this means for the most part is that we have the conditions needed to redo the teak railings other trim on the boat! With two coats to be done, it is usually easier to just tape off the wood as it is much faster if you don't have to worry about not getting the coating (Cetol) all over the white of the inside or outside of the boat. So I taped. We split the painting on the gunwale and Steve did most of the rest - it looks really good. Guess we need to be more careful coming in and going out of our slip :-) alsfowaef afj awf owqf wof wefj wqwop eof qwof qw fqf qo fef qfi q qfqwop fqwpofqwfjiqwfe
Finally the dock box is getting permanently attached to the aft deck! What we had done on the trip down was to use a ratcheting type strap to hold it down but then we had to undo the ratchet every time we needed something out of the box. So the solution was to first bolt two pieces of oak to the bottom of the box, then use 5200 adhesive to attach the wood to the top of the deck. For an extra layer of security, Steve added a U bolt which attached the side of the box to the ladder railing. Overall a great job in almost record time - and no extra trips to the store!!

Storm clouds rolling around the other night were really fun to see. It never did rain though - which was fine of course. More sunsets but no green flashes although there was supposedly one tonight (when we left early) - I have to say that I'm a little suspicious .....

Last job for the week (to be finished up tomorrow) is to make a rain/shade cover for the front of the boat. Right now, Steve has to go outside to lower the front hatch if it starts raining at night. Not much fun but with the hatch shut it tends to get hot pretty quickly so it'll be nice to be able to just leave the hatch open and not worry about it! I definitely do miss the large sewing table of my other sewing machine but this one does nicely - especially with Steve helping to guide the material through the machine!

Tomorrow is the Seafood Festival here in Marathon so we'll likely check that out as well as finishing up the rain cover for the front. Monday: Dave and Sue (friends from Nordonia) arrive for a week - definitely looking forward to seeing them!!
