More Stainless and Teak
&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;
Again the day was spent polishing stainless with Fitz metal polish this
time with a brass bristle brush. That really cleans the tarnish and
rust. We were also cleaning off the reflective stickers that were on
every stanchion. Every morning I look for wet teak and the caulk. Then I
pull up the wet caulk and dry the teak out in the sun. We have now used
an entire tube of caulk. Mike and Becky went sailing today and with
their 5 foot draft almost ran aground again. I'm worried about getting
in and out of this Marina. But we heard today it will likely be sold. So
I guess our time here may be limited. During spare moments I'm also
sorting screws and nuts and bolts. Yesterday I tried to take the screws
out of the cockpit grate and replace them with a 3/16th dowel. It worked
great.
