Hi guys! 

The weekend is over and what do I have to show for it? Well, not a teak deck ;) All the teak is gone! No joke it took under two hours to remove. Sure I had help from two other liveaboards but still. Two hours is pretty dang good. All credit goes to the poor choice of materials made by the yard that put on the deck back in 1987 ;) 

Now there is the small issue of what to do about the core in the deck. For one unlike any other boat, I've ever seen the core is on top of the deck as opposed to underneath. That leaves me with a gap between the toe rail and the core. Also, the core is wet. Wet, wet, wet! Thank god it's only a 38 ft boat :) Replacing the core is not going to be that bad :) 

I hope all of you out there in interwebs land have had a fun weekend. 


P.s count yourself lucky you're not living in the middle of a gigantic music festival with around 15.000 very loud and drunk people. It get's kind of old on the fourth day when you can't leave the party because your home is tied up in the middle of it ;)

In this video, I remove the old teak deck aboard my 38 ft sailboat (Athena). Turns out there are a few issues with the deck that I'll need to fix. *** Links *** Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter Music: Thingamajig by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/
