September 2018
We wrapped up August by brushing up on our woodturning skills, having allowed them to lapse for many years.
So more bowls to add to our collection...
We then decided it would be fun to take the JetSki to Spain to extend our boating season.
Great idea but the trailer hasn't been on the road for some 12 years!
Time for a major service, starting with new hubs and replacing all the U-bolts and bolts with stainless.
The good news was it all worked and nothing fell off. The trip was a great success.
Before we could take our trip i was determined to get the first coat of varnish on the deck.
So first I had to flatten the epoxy coat. It's incredible how much product end up on the floor of the workshop.
I used this
open mesh sanding paper
and it's brilliant.
Finally the first coat of varnish. A true milestone.
And in close up.
And a close up of the stern.
Now this should harden while I'm away.
