Done! Fini! Complete!

SHIP'S LOG:

It is done! The entire deck has now been stripped of old caulking. It has been given new caulking and is now as water-proof as is possible. . . . which means it will leak less if it leaks at at all. And that is a good thing. I feel as though someone has beat me about the head and body. The contorted positions and all the hand work have left their "mark." I slept like a log and woke up stiff, which is a good thing I suppose. I am hopeful that today friend Ray will be by to make the refrigeration unit all better. If he does make it by, I am fairly certain that he will NOT be able to complete all the work necessary for the beer to get cold today. But it will be a significant start.

The next three days promise thunderstorms and rain and no sailing. It is what I get for using the last three beautiful sailing days for work, then again, maintenance is necessary for sailing. Come the next sunny day and I am ready! ! !! ! !
