The Journey Continues
Anywhere... art

Our cockpit chairs were getting pretty yucky so I found some fabric locally and recovered them. Remember ... this is not the US. We're anchored off an island off the coast of Panama. There is one almacen (general store) with about 30 pieces of odd fabric. They have a couple dark victorian floral brocade type choices or a lot of very thin, flimsy small floral prints AND one off-white canvas fabric. SO, I went with the canvas but then they looked fairly plain and boring. SO, being me, I decided to paint them. I like them. :)

I like them too, oil or acrylic?

Just wanted to show everyone what Bryan did while I was in the US. Although I've been working on stripping and re-varnishing the teak for months and months in the main salon, Bryan did the entire v-berth while I was away. It really helped that I was gone because everything that is usually stored there was covering the salon and half of our aft berth during this process. Our cabin teak used to be varnished a very dark brown and everything was 'dungeon-y'. Now its light, pretty, and home-y. AND, I didn't have to do it. Yippee! He's a keeper,.... that's for sure.

Sin Frontera

This blog is for an old co-worker and friend, Sam Frontera. Sam was my surfer-dude nice-guy friend back when I was in the working world. Every time I see this water taxi go by 'uhane I think of Sam because I couldn't quite see the name of the boat the first time it flew past. Instead of Sin Frontera (without border), I thought it said Sam Frontera and almost fell overboard trying to read it. Anyway, this blog is for Sam and all the other techs at Aegon.

Sorry, for not blogging for a while. I just got back from 5 1/2 weeks in the US visiting friends and family in Texas, Missouri, and Florida. It was AWESOME!!! Always good to be home though. :)
