Varnish. Done!

Yay!

And it looks pretty good.

I was sweating it out for a while. Despite a pristine, sunny, blue sky morning, by 1PM it was trying to rain on my new varnish. Fortunately other that a trace of a sprinkle, it held off. Now (at 9PM) I think the varnish is hard enough to withstand a little moisture if it happens.

Now, on to other things. I took apart our hydro gen to replace a frozen bearing and decided to completely strip the old crappy paint on the outside of the thing. I bought some primer today and will start that project tomorrow. Will try for some pics.

Ann is faced with the unenviable task of taking off all the tape for the varnishing and then polishing the cabin top. Whoever said cruising was fun. It’s hard work. Well some of the time.

We had a nice get together tonight up at the BBQ gazebo. Bright Angel Linda made a big batch of chili and we got together with Blue Rodeo and Evergreen for a nice dinner of laughs and food.

One thought on “Varnish. Done!

  1. Bob, was a great Idea to go fishing. About time you do the same. Time to get out of Whangarei. Great Barrier is really on a day hard sail from the Hatea River entrance. We will be moving on tomorrow and heading for either Corrimando or Wahaike. Enjoy the work!
