Rio Dulce
sunny and hot
Yes, it is sunny and hot. Evidently we came in to the Rio on the last couple of days of extended rain. We have done nothing but work on this boat. The list is long and we are slowly marking off things that must be done. We have gotten our jib and staysail up and in doing so had to pull out some ropes that were stored under the setee. Well, wouldn't you know it, there is a leak and all the ropes are mildewed and wet. I can't even begin to tell you what is all involved in cleaning these, plus fixing the damn leak…..but that is a boat for you. I have done some bright work....little job compared to all the bright work we did in Panama a couple of years ago. So I have sanded the helm seat and the toerails. Now for the varnish and Charlie says the more coats the better. We can only do 2 coats per day, so at this point it will just depend on the weather how many coats I put on.
I have added a few photos. Bomba is the marina dog. He is so sweet and just makes me miss having an animal so much. So I am loving him up while I can. A new complete boat cover is coming on Friday....but you never know for sure if that is real or not as we are on Guatemalan time. So back to work!
My helm seat is sanded and the toerails are next. Thank god I have an electric sander on board.
Poor Charlie he is always
working on the motors.
