I did start cleaning the hull with Murphy's oil and warm water and made a lot of progress. While I was jammed under the bow wondering how to get out. (and I know some of you guys know what I'm talking about), I decided to give the deck a good scrub with a bristle brush. It work pretty good. I am sta...

Floor paint for Sea Coaster

tiny bubbles in varnish
