So, I decided to paint the Plexiglas. It took me about ten
minutes. Job done except for having a few beers while
the paint dries.

Ah, the rigors of the cruising life . . .

You're lucky that you didn't have my anchor neighbor from Antigua to
distract you. Those big fenders on he foredeck can catch your eye at
some critical juncture and make a botch of the whole project.

I'd respectfully suggest that if you are going to paint the plexiglass
that you could have used marine plywood instead for a considerable
cost saving.



I have discovered that wood = rot. I can no longer abide wood at all.
Even for decoration wood is untenable. So, I've been slowly replacing
wood with plastic. I've only got a few sticks of wood remaining on the
outside of my vessel. I have plenty of wood inside the accommodation
where it doesn't get wet so it tends to rot much more slowly.

The Plexiglas was free. I found it in a dumpster that's behind a
hardware store. I think it was the front side of some kind of a
sign board that they no longer wanted.

I saw that big fender but I liked those little bumpers on the
chest of that woman better. LOL! Women! They pretty much
prove the existence of God. It certainly takes a god to
render such perfection of form. . . Now their brains, well
that's a different story entirely.
