Swelling Doors
Today I shaved off the aft cabin door so it would close. When things get
humid and hot the doors swell just a little and it is enough they won't
close. So I sanded down the edge of the door till it fits again. That of
course left a lot of sanding dust everywhere so we had to wipe down almost
the entire boat! Then I oiled the interior teak on the steps. It was
really slick for a little bit till it soaked in. Things look much better
though. And Sam is glad the door closes now.
It was a beautiful day today with a wind out of the south so we are
sitting in the mud again. I'm really not sure whether to stay here or
not. We love the marina but it's just to shallow for our boat.
I am supposed to meet with Zimmerman's boat yard this week to schedule a
haul out and work on the rigging. I would really like to be out of here
sailing before hurricane season starts.
