I just got back from New Orleans last night, so back to the boat I go. I didn't have any specific work planned for today which turned out to be good. I seem to have left most of my tools in the trunk of the car my wife took to work today. Oops. I did stop out for a bit today but couldn't do a whole lot. Instead I grabbed a bunch of sandpaper and headed back home.
The weather was wonderful, so I hung out on the back porch with the dog, cranked up the radio and started sanding down the two pieces of wood used to hold the cushions in place. Unfortunately I forgot to get a "before" picture before I started. The back side of the port side piece is covered with all sorts of sticky residue from where it was taped before a paint job. This tape then proceeded to sit there for who knows how many years and is proving difficult to get off. Anyone know a good cleaner to help with this? How about a good varnish to use when I'm finished?
Back to work tomorrow, then hopefully back at it on Wednesday.

Hope your Nola trip was pleasure and not business. Mardi Gras perhaps? I used Petit on the handrail and really liked it. It's super nice to use and not outrageously expensive. Using helmsman right now and it's a lot more saggy.
The trip was a working vacation. Had to clean up the house and find new tenants, but had a little fun as well. Thought about sending you a pic of your old place.
Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check it out. Nice to use sounds good to me.
