John and I worked on the outside of the boat today. We started with the windshield cover. It's white and needed to be scrubbed really, really bad. However, it had torn along the bottom edge of the center section. We had taped it back together with white duct tape. We have contacted a person to make a new cover, but we don't know when that will happen. So, we started to remove the cover and it is so brittle and dry rotted that it tore in many more places. We removed it and kept it for a pattern for the new one. In the meantime, we put the original windshield cover on. It's navy blue like the rest of the canvas. It makes the inside of the boat so very dark. Anyway, we washed the windshield and John caulked around the windshield where the caulk had cracked. Then, we moved up to the bridge and washed the isinglass.
After dinner, we walked about a block to the parking lot where there was a car show going on. After walking around awhile and feeling like we got our exercise, we returned to the boat. All in all, a pretty productive day.
P.S. Diane, I made one of your recipes in the crockpot for dinner tonight. It was yummy.
