We're making good progress with the jobs list. The major achievement last week was to rejuvenate the tatty-looking floorboards in the galley and fore cabin.

| .....and after |
Here's a quick video to give you an idea of what was involved over two and a half days:
We are really pleased with the results, though it was a fairly stressful project. There's a more detailed version on YouTube if you want to see the full fun and games - click HERE
There's more flooring to do, of course, so we'll share some photos of the finished results aboard the boat at a later date.
Today's project has been another fiddly but important job. Our sprayhood (which is now 13 years old) has been exposed to strong UV in the Tropics and we've already done a few running repairs but this was a chance to give it some proper TLC.

| The sprayhood gets the Sailrite sewing machine treatment. The white strips on the floor are the backing paper from double-sided tape used to secure the binding before sewing. |
We've added new binding to all the edges and also to the main seams so we hope it'll have a few more years of life left in it, particularly when we've given it a detail clean and a coat of magic conditioner and water-proofer called Renovo once it's back on Maunie.
