Welcome Back

I'm back in NZ, and to welcome me back Kamalii decided to spring a deck leak - right above our berth. Sharon reported that it started in the first rain straight after we scrubbed the decks just before I left, so that gave us a clue what to look for.

Sure enough, after much spot testing with a hose and prodding around, I found it.


That tiny little hole is all it took to have water dripping all over the place. It's an old termite hole, and it had bored all the way through 2" of teak to the underside, but had been plugged with mud and crap until we scrubbed it hard. A syringe and a little epoxy fixed it.

The joys of timber boats. (I complain, but love em).

More Liverpool

Well what do you know?! Any relation? No idea, but my family hail from these 'ere parts.
