Teak is done!

Here are some "after" pictures of the teak. Albin and Nigel did a fabulous job. It took them a little over a week to get the whole job done. Amazing. sv Mary Elizabeth looks better than brand new. The teak is perfect, and we are very happy with the work that the guys did.

Yesterday we had a boat mechanic stop by to do some engine work. He is coming back tomorrow to fix the stuffing box. Today Bill has been working on replacing all of the turn buckles. They have all oxidized and turned green (see the old and the new below).

So that's about all that is going on. It is another beautiful day here in Ft. Lauderdale; a little 'colder' today -- high 60s low 70s. We have met several of the folks on other boats in the marina. When we first got here there were very few boats. Now the marina is almost full. Lots of people spend the winter in Ft. Lauderdale. And this is a great marina to stay in.
