Cockpit Grates

Well it was a long day of sanding the cockpit grates. But on toward evening I finished with them and then cleaned them and had a look. I'll post pictures. The trunnels look great and they turned out better than I thought!. Next steps are to oil them. My next project will be the Ships wheel.

This evening then I took apart the aft head cabinets again to attack the leak in the vacuum tank. I found the leak. I put metal tape over the crack and sealed the entire thing with black rubber caulk. When it dries tomorrow I'll try it and see how it holds.

Hannah made stew with local vegetables that we got at the farmers market yesterday in Beaufort. She also is making sour dough and pumpkin cake.

It's been a good day! I posted some new pictures of Grace at Solomons Island MD from a month ago. They are in the sailing album! check it out.

Lots of sanding and taking out bronze screws and replacing them with trunnels!
