Polishing

     It seems that the Cap'n has spent awhile at the wheel polishing, along with all the varnishing, he has kept himself very busy. It's starting to get a little cold, so he is starting to do the things he can do inside. He only has one more coat of varnish to apply on a few things, and he will be done, with the stuff we brought home. Then when we are able to spend time on her, we will be doing all the teak that isn't removable.
     One more trip before we are comfortable leaving her for the winter. Unfortunately I wont be able to go this time. Working retail this time of year, not much luck getting the time off. Looks like the Cap'n will be doing this trip alone.    bunkmate

Monday September 10th, 2012

While we were on vacation I sat & wrote a little blog. On Monday Sept. 10th, 2012.
     Cerridwen sure is lovin' all the attention she is getting, you can almost feel her roll over onto her back so you can rub her belly, hahaha
     We, yes I said we, have been working almost non~stop on getting the head completely restored. All the cutting, measuring, sanding, measuring, cutting,has paid off for the most part. All the measuring was mostly spot on. And what wasn't, was pretty close, so not much cutting was needed. The fiberglass was another story though, I wont go into it, but it was (hilarious) an  experience. We ( I ) learned alot this weekend. And the week ahead is shaping up to be just as much fun.
      I wish that I had written more, but, , , , 
The pictures show alot of the steps. As soon as we did all we could, at this time, we ripped into the galley, , , and thats got to be another post. It sure is fun working side~by~side with Cap'n Carey :)  bunkmate 

Vacations

 Ya know, if you want a week to pass real fast, Go On Vacation!! I swear, we worked our butts off putting the head back together, after fixing the leaks, ( fingers crossed we got it this time ), and then tore into the galley. We ripped out some pretty gross stuff. We took all that teak home, and Cap'n Carey got on the sanding, and then this past weekend we put on the second coat of varnish. Its amazing the difference in the Teak without the mold/grease/dirt caked on it. She is turning out to be even more beautiful everyday. When we set sail, , , ,   to wherever, she is going to be like brand new.  bunkmate

Sanded and ready for varnish.

Two coats down and many more to go.
