Beaufort
A little sign of progress was delivered today. The fittings and connectors for the new bimini/solar panel frame arrived this morning via FedEx. Their shiny stainless steel glistened in the sunshine as we examined them. Yes, the day started off with sunshine and then warmed up nicely. Barry removed the last of the damaged frame. After lunch we began sanding our teak name boards in preparation for re-varnishing. This project needed to be done outside on a warm, dry day. We finally got one. Barry used the power tools and I followed with hand sanding of the corners and around the cut vinyl lettering. For a few hours it was shorts and T-shirt weather, then the wind picked up and the clouds rolled in. Back in jeans and a sweatshirt, we went for a late afternoon walk to stretch our legs. The best shot from tonight's sunset occurred before the sun dropped below the cloud bank with the small white clouds creating an intricate patchwork pattern against the bluebird sky. The stainless steel tubing should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully things are starting to come together.
