We didn't get everything done this year. We had planned to do the rubbing streak and the companionway boards as well. The rubbing streak was mostly scraped back but was not varnished and only the bottom two boards were varnished for the campanionway. Instead we made a replacement board for the top two drop boards with two pieces of acrylic separated by a wood frame as this allows so much more light in and we figure will be nice as the shorter days of an Alaskan winter come on us.
What we did achieve is all the trim, cap rails, taff rails, and forward sign boards. All the windows have been done, and the grab rails. We didn't even attempt the bowsprit and the rubbing streak will wait until next year. We also didn't do the hatch trim but most of those look ok and hopefully will last another year.
Just as we were finishing off the varnishing, we were wondering how to get new name decals when all of a sudden we were remotely introduced to Sasha and Gretchen via our friends Chris and Kerry from Guam. Sasha works in the Anchorage office of the company Pauline worked for in Guam. He volunteered to take on designing, ordering and delivering for us. Mucho thanks go to him. You can zoom in on the pictures and check out his artwork.
