Work Done!

No buffer. Some boat here at Peake's hasn't returned it, we are told. Okay. We attack the red stripe, just over the waterline; we rub (as in scrub) the circumference by hand. That is,by shoulder and elbow. Then polish; more arm exercise. Just a wash on all the white freeboard. It's shiny enough.
And one more coat of varnish around the cockpit. And we're done!

Sort of. The rest of our landlubber life "on the hard" will be mostly coordinating electricians, rigging help, the canvas-man.


Wait.

Wait.

As the carneval approaches the work-tempo decreases.
