Dopo un paio d'ore circa di navigazione, riusciamo anche ad andare a vela con 18/20 nodi di poppa, passa sopra le nostre teste un fronte temporalesco, in lontananza una tromba marina prende forma, ci organizziamo subito, chiudiamo le vele, rizziamo meglio il tender e la passerella appoggiata ai candelieri sul ponte, via la canna da pesca e tutti gli imbarazzi nel pozzetto, serriamo le cime addugliate sui verricelli e prepariamo le lame del tambuccio per chiudere prima che di riempire la barca di acqua salata. Siamo pronti al peggio, ma la tromba marina si dissolve... sospiro di sollievo che dura poco. Infatti un'altra è in formazione proprio davanti a noi, stavolta anche più grande, noi siamo già pronti, penso di accelerare la velocità della barca per avere una inerzia maggiore, e prevalere con l'impatto della tromba marina in modo da uscirne dall'altra parte più velocemente possibile! Tremila giri, quasi otto nodi di velocità e lei è davanti a noi a meno di mille metri!! Cambio ancora rotta, ma sembra che ovunque metta la prua, lei riesca a starci davanti, adesso è leggermente a dritta avanza verso terra e l'angolo con la nostra rotta non cambia, siamo in rotta di collisione! Stiamo solo aspettando, secondi!! Ma se è vero che ognuno di noi ha un angelo custode, il mio è intervenuto anche stavolta, a meno di 500 metri si dissolve, sembra sollevarsi verso l'alto come se fosse un genio della lampada che torna all'interno della sua casa, stavolta verso l'alto però! Paura o timore di far danni? Tutto passato.

1. Remove the old caulking. We use a special tool from @teakdeckingsystems. 2. If your deck is both screwed and glued, considwe removing the screws. We chose to remove the screws since they only created a possibility for water to enter the construction. 3. Fill out every screw hole with epoxy. During the renovation, we learned it would be a good idea to fill the holes with epoxy as soon as you remove the screws to ensure you seal every single hole. 4. Route between all the teak strips. We routed all the way to the gel coat to have as much wood to work with as possible. We used a fine cutter where the caulking was across the grain. 5. Seam sanding. It helps remove the remaining caulking and gives the teak a fresh bonding surface. 6. Masking the teak strips. We chose to mask the wood to reduce the sanding process later on because we knew the teak wasn’t very thick. 7. Cleaning off with acetone. This helps remove dust and gives the caulking the best conditions to adhere to the wood and cure. 8. Start caulking. We used an air compressor caulking gun. It makes the process easier for large surfaces that need caulking - we used SIS 440 from @teakdeckingsystems. We also used a 3D-printed applicator for the caulk head, which minimizes the amount of caulking used. I could only find it on @hfindustrimarineaps website. 9. “Spoon” caulk further into the seams. We used a flexible putty knife to smoothing the caulking. 10. Pull off the masking. While removing the tape, we used scissors to cut just before the area where it hadn’t been caulked yet. 11. Remove the top of the caulking. We used a sharp stanley knife. We did this to minimize sanding, just as we did with masking. 12. Sanding with grit 80. We used the fine cutter’s sanding head for all the edges and an orbital sander for the larger areas. Side note: Sanding with grit 40. We believe the best way is to sand before routing to even out the wood. Unfortunately, we had many places where the wood was so worn out that it wouldn’t have been possible to follow the old tracks with the router after sanding. #diy #sailing #sailingdiy #teak #teakdeck #sailingdenmark #boatwork #shortoftheday
