Although I’d originally planned on leaving today, I got caught up in tasks and started the day too slowly in order to be able to leave on time; so I postponed my departure by another day and did some more tasks aboard the boat. Although there isn’t much to report, I did remember to pull out my camera and at least snap some shots so the blog wouldn’t be too empty.
I finally attacked the cockpit table cleaning project, but ended up doing just a minimal amount of work by using diluted dish washing soap to lift some of the dirt and grease from the tabletop and then used a very weak solution of oxalic acid to brighten the teak on the table. The result looks a lot better, but I think I will sand the table lightly and then apply varnish since the raw wood will always soak up grease and liquids when I use the table. I don’t know which varnish I’ll apply, but that project won’t be started until I’m in St. Martin in any case.
I went to dinner at the local Zoo Rock Cafe, joined by Bjorn, and we had the beef skewers which were quite tasty but a huge portion that I couldn’t quite finish (although I did my best and very close) but the heavy meal made me very tired yet I ended up not sleeping very well. I should have learned by now that moderation is a virtue.
