Decks

The weather has continued to be crappy over the last week, but we have more or less finished the port side of the aft cabin. We have re-caulked the timbers, re-plugged as necessary, and given the whole thing a moderate sanding; not down to completely fresh timber, but pretty much smoothing it out and getting rid of all the really worn sections. Even though the teak has been sanded and scrubbed to death over the decades there is still loads of meat left - at least 1/2", which would be gobsmackingly thick for any modern teak deck. And that's just a laminate on the cabin tops!

Freshly done decks compared to the lazarette hatches which we have not done. I'll try and get the next photo in focus...
