Spring/Summer - 2016

This year I arrived around the 17th of May by myself until Gnettie joined me in June.
This was the first winter the boat was left out in the open without a tarp.
The Cetol on the wood was a major disappointment. On the port side rear rub rail, was rotted right through. Cetol came off everywhere and left the bare wood to the elements.

As we progress through the spring/summer I will put green check marks next to the completed items.
