Sharon and I just returned from a week long work-athon on board Big Run. It was great to be working on the boat with Sharon, especially since we were out on the hook (anchored). While Sharon did other tasks, I developed 2 obscure areas into additional storage area for boat necessities. We managed to do so much it's hard to list all the projects we did. Two days were so oppressively hot it limited our work. However, we did manage to do some smaller projects.
One project that is a work in progress and continues to be for the next few weeks - brightwork. For those of you who do not know what brightwork is, it is the teak wood accents on the boat exterior. This was Sharon's introduction into wood maintenance and refinishing. Sharon's first task was to scuff the teak that needed annual maintenance of Cetol Gloss which I applied. Once Sharon mastered that task, she was introduced to stripping old finishes from some of the teak that could not be salvaged by a fresh coat of Cetol. Her first solo stripping job was the bench on the foredeck and she did a excellent job. While I may be the painter, Sharon is now the new paint prep man!
