Coaming done!

I went down to the boat today, ostensibly to check out the swap meet at AMS, but also to get started on a couple projects. The swap meet sucked, but Tad was kind enough to give me a kick-ass traveler system he doesn't need. I haven't decided yet whether it's going to work out, but that was really sweet of him. NB: the current traveler is 43 1/4 inches long.
I also epoxied the broken teak coaming back on. It's not a great job, but hopefully either a little wood colored caulk or just the varnish that I'll eventually apply should make it look better.
I've decided this is the year the deck is getting painted and there are no two ways about it! Now I have to figure out how, i.e. can I afford to haul, or is it gonna have to be done at the dock, somehow...
