Varnishing

[Porthandbuoy]

It's dry, the sun is out, it's neither too cold nor too hot; but it's blowing a hoolie.
(Mariposa's afloat, on the pontoons and upwind from the dusty carpark)

To varnish or not to varnish? That is the question.

I spent last weekend on board waiting for the rain to stop so I could start varnishing. The boat's been on the mooring all winter and desperately needs her brightwork sorted.
Sadly it was wet both days.
I will be back tomorrow... and come what may there will be much sanding and brush wielding. I should be safe from the stoor on the mooring, so the gulls will probably use my fresh Le Tonk as a toilet.

Wait till the wind settles or changes - you'll hate yourself otherwise.

In OZ you varnish in summer on a good day you can get 3 coats so why varnish in the winter when you can sail
