Paint Day















I do the teak rail, up in the cock-pit. Oernulf primes and re-paints the new waterline below. The teak gets six coats, three with half and half thinner and three full strength. The first three, every three hours, I do today. Between the tropic rain showers.
The heat is now steaming up from the white gravel as the sun's 25 degrees burn through the clouds again. The bimini's up and shading, but the sweat is pouring as the showers dry up.
