Trinity are having problems and will take a week or so extra
to fix them. Their teak deck is falling apart; the rubber sealer that goes
between the teak is rotten. So I’m helping them scrape that out and replace
with new sealer. I don’t think anything could be worse than fixing my head, but
this is pretty close.
At the same time I’ve been cleaning, sanding and sealing my
own teak. I found some teak oil sealer in one of my lockers and thought better to
use it. My cockpit floor is looking much better. Just Imagine gave me some
material they had spare, so I started making cushion covers.
From scraping out old rubber to hand sewing material with
little boats on, feels like going from one extreme to the other, but it’s
important to have a really comfortable interior. Sometimes when I go inside
other yachts, they’re so luxurious, I feel envious, but I’ve also found that
with very little cost it’s possible to make big improvements. Now I’m on the
look out for picture frames – I got some original illustrations from Jules
Verne books.
