Port Carmen, Cebu
Philippines
This is being composed on our new tablet while we have taken the bus in to the big city of Cebu staying in a hotel for the night to enjoy some shopping and airconditioning. I 'm not to sure how my fingers are going to manage to type on the mini keyboard or how the photo loading will work but the speed here is much better than in the boat yard
Work continues and the best part is that Kathy has returned home to keep me focused.
One of my projects during her absence was to replace the vinyl headliner in the v-berth that is undergoing a complete re-do. I managed to remove the old without difficulty. New foam and vinyl was purchased. It sounded simple to glue the new back to the overhead. NOT!!! This was very difficult and when completed looked TERRIBLE!!! The decision was made to just get it finished so we could move on. At some time in the future we could get some professional help, for now we could live with the wrinkles in "the garage". Three days after completion new disaster reared it's head. The recommended spray on adhesive failed in several area. I have now just made repairs using contact cement. Imagine several hours spent in a very small area. After several hours of glue sniffing the job was completed. I may have lost a few extra brain cells but for now the new overhead vinyl is in and the rest of the v-berth can now be completed.
Now we'll try for photos
