Kevin
and his crew (James, Kristina and myself) have been working on restoring the
decks. We have been working since January on this project, which reduced
our sailing time. It has involved cutting out the old caulking with a hot
knife, then cleaning the remaining caulking out with screw drivers and carpet
cutter for any residual caulk the hot knife didn't pull up. The
last few steps of sanding, taping then re caulking. A few days later then
sanding it smooth and oiling the deck. Kevin has done 90% of the work and
has every right to be proud of his new decks. This project has taken
several months and it will be nice to go sailing. This weekend is our
annual pirate scramble at the grant island, then we will be going to St. August
at the end of may.
As
you can see by the second photo how nice it looks. We are so thank full
this should only have to be done about once every 20 years. As the
admiral, I would like to thank James and Kristina for all their hard work.
