Tik, Tock, Teak!

Well the teak on our boat was bothering me. It was gray, weathered, and I was sure it had seen better days. As a matter of fact I had little hope I could restore it to the luster of yesteryear. However with a great kit from my buddy Chandler at WestMarine I went to work. Here are a few shots of before, during and after the restoration project.

Then after a lot of hard work, I got rewarded with a guest spot crewing for Jimmy & Cheryl. With winds around 17kts sustained gusting to over 25kts it was a fun day. Full sail and the rails went in the water a few times, got back just in time to throw another coat on before the day ended.
