Lou, in Florida we have something called sun! If we do happen to get a cloudy day, I will take a couple more for you! But no "orange peel" involved!

Here you go Lou. The greatest thing about having your boat at the bottom of the garden is that you can just stroll down to her!

Not the sharpest of photos from my phone because, well, there's no light at this time of night!

BTW, what you see reflected is my helm instrument covers!

No problemo - I am always looking for an excuse to walk down there!

Plus I bet there were others thinking the same thing, and just didn't say!

Wow...I think it’s beautiful!
We have some discolored wood but I think ours is more from leaks than just sun.
It’s on David’s list of things to do. We’ll see. Lol

OK, it is all done. It took him six weeks - but the results are well beyond what we thought he could do!

It certainly looks very good! My initial scepticism was unfounded, the guy knows his stuff. Could you post before and after pics of one of the most damaged areas?

Our challenge now, is what to put on the steps to the FB, cabins, and galley to "stick" the carpet pieces down. We don't want to compromise the finish.
