Danusia Phase 2-6

Thursday

Picking up where I left off last time, I continued sanding the teak on deck, finishing up the port toerails, eyebrow, and anchor platform.  Generally, the wood cleaned up nicely with the two rounds of sanding, with few indelible stains, and the wood grain had fortunately been protected for long enough that even the weathered areas remained smooth and easy to sand clean and flat.

From there, I climbed on deck to sand the remaining teak:  handrails, cockpit coamings, companionway, and assorted bits.  This completed the sanding phase, other than a few pieces I’d removed from the boat that still required stripping and sanding (namely the swashboards and pedestal table).

Total time billed on this job today: 6.25 hours
