Refinishing teak table top
Spent the morning refinishing my teak salon table top. Such a beautiful piece of wood that the previous owners let it get so ugly. Old engine comes out on Monday, then I will be able to really clean & paint the bilge, find the fresh water leak, replace a couple of thru- hulls and replace the water heater.

Boat fire at Port Canerval Yacht Club
The big excitement for the day. Propane tank explosion on one boat destroyed 2 or 3 others. Sent by RiBurton's IPhone Posted via email from Captain Richard's Posterous Blog

Relaxing on the hard
Took my fishing rod over to the harbor about 8pm. Caught four croakers for dinner, then took a shower, came back to the boat and had a nice fresh fish dinner (fried in Smart Ballance and seasoned with curry powder,salt, pepper and ketchep) accompanied with a can of black beans Listening to the Bridge on XM.

Day 2 of the Geisha project.
Got the water system working. Bypassed the water heater completely. Hooked up my XM sat reciever so I don't have to listen to stupid DJs all day. I swear I don't know how local commercial radio still exists. Sent by RiBurton's IPhone Posted via email from Captain Richard's Posterous Blog
