CS34 Wax

It was cold and wet, with a strong north wind.  NASTY.

Worked inside the boat with the heater on.

Replaced the kinked deck wash hose.  Ended up putting an elbow in to have less stress on the hose.

V-Birth very clean

Cleaned all the teak in V-Birth with Murphy's Oil Soap and then treated it with lemon oil.

It was now warm enough to move outside.  Got new hoses sika flexed in the anchor locker. They are sticking out about 2" and will be trimmed when the sealant dries.

Next washed and compounded the transom.  Used the new wax that I won during the 3M presentation at Winter sail a couple of weeks ago.  It is a liquid wax that you apply with a sponge in circles, wait until it dries to a haze, then buffed it with a new wool pad on the DeWalt polisher.

I was so pleased with the results I decided to do the entire boat

 

Things left to do before launch

• install decals on transom
• fix damaged side stripes
• remove engine antifreeze
• put cover frames away in the yard
• put bimini frame away from under boat

There's Still Time!
