Our pump out flange has been leaking water from the deck so we siliconed it up and stopped the leaking. We just never had time to do any more about it for years, till now. We got started on re-bedding the deck flange today.
Some clean up.

Got the flange up. The screws were shot and had to use some vice grips on two to get them out.

Upper deck hand rail- eye brow and starbord cap rail.
Beginning of June at Paradise Village Marine in Puerto Vallarta Mexico
The got washed with Bon-Amy once the sanding was done and I was surprised to see a few spots that I missed.
Next day we put the first and only coat of Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak on the port hand rail. Only one coat so we keep the teak light in color. Then four coats of Sikkens Cetol Natural Gloss.
We also go the first coat of four new coats on the upper eye brow.
I was able to cut in the eye brow without using any tape. So that is great because now next year a quick roughing up and a couple quick coats and we are done and that goes for all the deck teak.

Frostfire Mooncandles - LED candles
Beginning of June at Paradise Village Marine in Puerto Vallarta Mexico
Three 4'', 5'' and 6'' weatherproof resin remote control color changing candles, weatherproof and designed to withstand light rain and not heavy rain or standing water.
Remote control has 20 foot range. Set the candles to flickering or light mode.
Ideal for outdoors with no wax to melt.
Safe around the home, children and pets
Requires 2 x AA batteries per candle
We got our LED candles from Amazon. They are great from what we
want them for. We put one in each area, the head, stateroom and saloon. They
all will turn off and on with the remote. We also have those changing colors
and flickering. They work as night lights and as small lights that give a nice
ambiance to the boat. They also make the boat look bugger by lighting the whole
insides but not so much as to be well light. Also they have their own batteries
so no boat resources needed.

We went to the Cinemax in the Plaza Galerias Vallarta Mall and saw the new Star Trek movie. It was in English and had Spanish sub titles. While a little more expensive than some movie theaters here it was still rather inexpensive. The during the day price per person was 51 pesos (less than $5.00).

Upper deck hand rails

The upper deck eye brow will get four new coats of Sikkens Cetol Natural Gloss and

rail with Bon Amie then tape it up and put on a coat of Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak,

Got our big scuppers fixed
End of May at Paradise Village Marine in Puerto Vallarta Mexico
Our big scuppers were leaking into the boat. The rains are coming and it rains a lot of water here when it rains. We have enough to do and so we hired a fellow the Harbormaster's office recommended - Ramirez - to do the work for us. The pricing is great and the workmanship is also great. He was done in less than a day.
First it was prepped and then he fiberglassed then gel coated then painted.
