…Captain has a new polisher.
Hot, sunny and humid, with no rain in sight.
…making good use of the fine weather to give R.E.D.
a couple of coats of wax.
…a lot ‘beefier’ than last year’s polisher
but what a great way to build up some sexy boat muscles.
…Captain’s choice…to protect against all those nasty things
that can eventually oxidize the gel coat.
…with UV protection for her name.
…the result – a mirror finish.

Now that we have consistently mild weather,
and since it will be a few days before we can ‘splash’ our lady
we are using the time to clean and polish.
…scrubbing the deck and hull…
…polishing the chrome…
…the wooden crutch in the cockpit I will be explaining in a later post.
…it involves a plan to make travelling with mast down a little easier
for the first protion of our summer Rideau loop trip.
…she looks really shiny and we haven’t even applied the wax yet.
…the club was a bustling hive of activity with others preparing their boats for launch
and these lucky folks already having enjoyed a brisk sail.
