Ready to Move Back Aboard!

If you've been following this blog you know I moved off the boat to replace the sole, install new water tanks, finish the refit of the V-Berth, head, and mid-ship. I also had to make the boat "Pet-friendly" for my eleven year old buddy, Fuji.

I am happy to say, for the most part, it's all finished and I'm moving back on-board tomorrow.

Forgive me for a short post but I'm exhausted and tomorrow is going to be crazy busy.

Fair seas and God bless!

    1. Hey mike... Thanks.

      The "Floor"? Hmmm.... I have changed it a couple times. First I tried Allure... too soft and too easy to scuff up and damage.

      Then I did Bamboo... looked great, good pricing... though it's considered a hardwood, it was easy to dent and scuff. Also, the reason it came out was because when I did the floor hatches, I did not allow enough room for the boards swelling and damaged a few getting the hatches up for the new water-tanks. When went to Home Depot to buy replacement boards, they discontinued the type. nothing matched.

      Then I had to add 3/4 inch sole for the new water-tanks to fit and just painted and used a rubber mat. It's not as nice as the Bamboo but it's cheap and practical.

      With a dog on-board, the mat works good...easy to vacuum and clean up.

      Thanks for following.
