Hull Paint four

 Since the weather cooperated for a change, we were able to get everything on our original list done.  We had some bad spots were the stainless strip that protects the teak rub-rail and gunnel had been hit hard by a dock so we made the decision to salvage what we could and buy new as needed.  We cleaned and polished the good pieces then designed a plan for best use of each length.  There was a lot of cutting and modification but the end result was worth it.  With still some time on our one month, we got a good start on the varnish work on our teak.  We only finished the caprail and gunnel but that is a significant amount of the total.

That is Shiny!!
