Teak Time

With a few weeks before I can put the boat in the water, I figured I’d get some minor maintenance done. First order of business: cleaning and re-treating the teak. Since the woodwork has been aged enough that I can’t get it completely clean, I figured I’d go for the darker ‘Classic’ teak color to even out the overall look.

Looking better already!

I opted for Classic, which matches the woodwork inside the cabin.
