Boat Chores

Just a quick update here to say that life goes on pretty much as normal.

We are having fun in Grenada and getting some work done on the boat.

The latest chore is repainting the cabin top and deck. The non-skid was wearing through on the cabin top, which is potentially a safety issue. So, that needed to be repainted for sure, but the white trim was also looking shabby. No sense in doing one without the other.



We are also wanting to do the brightwork (i.e., varnish) -- a monumental undertaking on a Tayana 37, for sure. But we've seen a few boats here with their brightwork newly done and it is mesmerizingly beautiful. I decided on both the painting and the varnishing to do it "by the book" this time, so I have spent a few hours reading up and watching YouTube videos to get ideas on the best approach.

Doug, where are you?!
