This year I arrived the 2nd of May by myself until Gnettie joined me in June.
This was the second winter the boat was left out in the open without a tarp.
The Bristol product I applied to the wood was left shiny and like new.
So I will put this over all the top sides wood work.
As we progress through the spring/summer I will put green check marks next to the completed items.
I am working on so many things at once, depending on the weather that I am adding a next to each work in progress item.
