We were lucky enough to borrow a friend's floating work platform which allowed access to strip the caprail on the underneath side without hanging head first over the rail.  The project is coming along ... despite two rain delays today, we were able to strip the entire underneath all the way around the boat and start on the cockpit area of the rest of the caprail.  Maybe tomorrow we'll have it stripped - then the REST of the fun will begin!  Brightning it, then sanding it ... with two different grits and FINALLY I'll be able to put two primer or base coats of diluted varnish on.   Meantime the stripped rubrail is starting to change to it's natural silver gray which was my objective when I stripped it a couple months ago!  Too bad we have so much other teak.  Once we finish the caprail, the grabrails and eyebrow will look pathetic.   It seems

    2010-2011 SW FL Refit

    The 2010 - 2011 SW FL Refit is finished as of May 2011.  Now we're back after summer hurricane season.  Getting the boat ready to go somewhere and anchor ... one of the hardest things to do is actually LEAVE!  But we'll get there!  Hopefully spring 2012, we'll be off to the Exuma Islands... unless the wind doesn't blow us there and we change our minds!  :)
