we are going to put two coats of varnish on the main solon overhead teak batons and paint the white panels. She wants to get started on the project right after Thanksgiving holiday when things slow down a bit. The boat is pretty much slip ridden over the holidays so we'll try and squeeze the work in during that time. For us, that's a pretty good sized project and couldn't be done during sailing season. Come to think of it, it's all sailing season out here so we just have to pick out a time where we think it won't hurt us too terribly badly. Life's a bitch out here on the west coast. You just never have time to get anything done.
