Finished the final cleaning and waxing project - the deck and cabin top - bringing the entire boat back to its pre-storage condition. After all the bottom and topsides work, then the teak refinishing, it was finally time to tackle the deck and cabin top. Spent 8hrs on my knees scrubbing up the Cetol drops and ground in dirt and bird droppings with lacquer thinner and rubbing compound, and couple hours rubbing out the oxidized flat surfaces. After a good washing with deck cleaner it was time for a coating of "Woody Wax", the wonder polymer coating that provides a protective coat against future bird droppings. Today I finished up by wiping down the teak to remove the white spots from the deck compounding. Boat really looks good.
Installed the new furling lines and washed up the halyards. Ready now to put the sails back on.
