It can stop snowing now!!

Back in September I took advantage of a special offer on sails and ordered a full-batten main. I got a discount for NOT having a firm delivery date and allowing the loft to work on it during their down times between other orders. About a week ago, it finally arrived!


Now if it ever stops snowing, sleeting and generally being nasty outside, I'll go to the boat and make sure everything fits and works. The forecast is for more white stuff tonight and then a slow warming trend. It is supposed to be in the mid 60's this weekend. Sweet!


I have the interior hatch covers at home. I've started sanding them to remove the stains and put one coat of West Marine's WoodPro on one of them. I realize I'll have to be very careful sanding as the teak surface is a thin veneer on the outsides of the plywood hatch covers. Also, rather than risk trying to varnish in the garage with a couple of space heaters going (not a good idea in the presence to volatile solvents being released from the varnish), I will wait until it warms up a bit and varnish outside.


Now, back to the Winter Olympics on the TV.
