On my own again

Brenna left today, so after a brief break, I got to work on the teak decks. I'm hoping to reseal them all before the rains begin and before my next helper arrives in 10 days. 
Step one: lots of masking tape and then Sikaflex in between.
 Step 2: peel off the masking tape before the Sikaflex hardens but making sure the day is calm so that the least amount ends up on my hands and arms and most of it in the trash. 
Step 3: create some kind of a barrier so that you don't accidentally step on the wet Sikaflex.
Step 4: clean up your tools and yourself then go for a swim and relax.
Rain is predicted next week,  so I have four days to repair as much of the deck as possible.
Another section done.
We didn't get any rain, but dome wind and the temperature has dropped. Time to pull out some long sleeves and long pants at least for the early mornings. There's more wind predicted for early October, but after that I hope to find a nice weather window so that my new helper and I can move Eidos to Poros Island and within reach of the boatyard.
