No more teak decks!

We have been back in NC for two weeks. For the most part the past two weeks have been spent on the boat fiberglassing, filling, faring, filling, faring, filling, faring......you get the picture. We stripped the teak and filled all the holes last spring before we headed up to Cape Cod to work for the summer. When we got back, it was perfect weather to tackle laying up two layers of glass and get to faring. Today we finally were able to get a coat of primer on the deck. I think it looks great. Another coat of primer, three coats of perfection and kiwi grip and we will put her back together. And get ready to tackle some interior projects. The next project will probably cutting out the knees that held the chainplates down as we are converting to outside chainplates.....but I will defer to the captain as to what direction we are going in after this.
This was a big project, which we anticipated, but long overdue. We are excited for the finished product. Not much more to report, it's pretty much just been boat work. It's all good, this is what we look forward to during the summer.
