More Teak
Today was a slow wonderful day slowly sanding at the aft deck box. I put
in new bungs, expoxied cracks, and sanded the aft deck box lid. Then in
the evening just before it started raining I olied it. It looks amazing.
I put oil on the inside of one of the deck boxes where you can see the
original deck and it must have looked incredible in it's first few years.
I am still deciding whether to leave it all grey or to restore as much of
the teak as possible. So far now I have the three hatches done and one
deck box. There are three deck boxes and e dorades to go plus the
eyebrows along the cabin.
Today Hannah made two loves of fresh bread and is making cauliflower soup
for dinner. We sat out in the rain this evening on deck. Lilah came out to
visit us. She is always out at night but won't go out during the day. I
made a new cat box for her tonight from a rubbermaid bin. I got a heat
gun and melted it into place so it fits perfectly in the well between the
aft cabin and the head.
I talked today with David who lives here and asked about fishing since we
got our fishing licenses yesterday. He said that all we are going to
catch in the creek now is manta rays. We have seen them by the dozens
lately. They are stirring up the bottom mud and making the water quite
murkey. I guess they breed here. Yesterday one of the other boaters was
fishing and caught a couple of them but threw them back. Andy says that
they cook the wings in England but here everyone just throws them back.
