Not Another Leak, Meeting Kelly Clarkson and Sanding Parquet Floor

This week we divided and conquered some of the work on board the boat, as well as in our storage shed. But first, I flew out of town for a work conference and enjoyed a tremendous small venue private concert with Kelly Clarkson. The company I work for hired her to perform to our customers, so we had about 5000 of us or so at "The Joint" at the Hardrock Casino in Vegas. Good times and she sings great. While I was out of town, Deb started on clearing out the Storage sheds to sell, donate and throw stuff away. This has been needed for a long while, and we have a lot more to go, but it is progress toward getting rid of more of our stuff. I was going to bed what I thought was a leaking port light in the Galley. I didn't like what I found. The leak and moisture were coming from above the port, NOT from the port itself. This was terrible news as it meant I was going to have to figure out how to fix this and I wasn't sure. The little voice in my head kept thinking I may need to grind and fiberglass the new work that we just had done on the coach house. I wanted to avoid that as you can likely imagine. So while I contemplated it, I sanded and faired a few places in the salon and head in preparation for painting the surfaces white. We love the classic teak and mahogany wood interior. However it does make it quite dark down below, so we are looking for small ways to lighten the interior without getting rid of the wood. The old look of horizontal teak strips over white boards is one of the areas that we are changing. We removed the parallel teak strips and will paint these areas white around the opening ports. This will allow more light to reflect off the surfaces.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
