Most of us spent the better part of the day caulking more seams in the deck. Grant finished up the column in the great cabin and varnished both of them, really great looking. Ethan painted trim for the shower and fixed a broken leg on the grate next to the helm. Brooke went with Peter to get the floor sander and after lunch Peter and Grant started sanding the starboard fore deck. Peter looked really funny, like and old man mowing the lawn, once it was sanded it looked really great, like a new deck compared to before. Spent a long time sweeping up all the sawdust so that nothing would fall in the oil. Then Katie and Grant started to oil with rollers and still had to be on bubble patrol with a brush. Peter and I ate dinner quickly and then put on another coat because the deck was really socking it up. Putting on the second coat was really tricky because we hand to lean out, I had myself wrapped around a stanchion while leaning out. The deck looks really amazing and I can’t wait for all of it to be done! Some things are going to be really tricky to get into; I for see some intense hand sanding.
Omigosh, that deck is so pretty!
