I'm off to varnishville, myself, in just a little while. Raining cats
and dogs (of course) here in the Pacific North Wet- so it's a good
thing my boat is under cover.

My dad and I just got back from Paintsville on Saturday, and
unfortunately, the only cover we had was plastic sheeting held up with
duct tape and tall angled boat stands. Turned out pretty good though,
despite the occasional downpour. Needs some finishing work on the paint
(couple drips here and there...), and a lot of varnishing (especially in
the stern), but not bad for a "wet" job:

Which reminds me, I need to get some shots once the canvas is back up.
Dad had really nice canvas made over the winter complete with sliding
entry panels and matching blackout curtains. It's brown canvas, so it
matches the varnish, and looks great.
