Mental Floss no more

Today, the skipper and his second mate took off my old name, "Mental Floss." It took about two hours to razor off the white vinyl lettering and it doesn't seem like goo gone is gonna make it any easier taking the residue off. "The name Mental Floss was just a little too zen for me," said the skipper.

The second mate started sanding the cabin "doorway" before a varnish job later this week.

Rub a dub dub

Spent about two and a half hours today, applying rubbing compound via a buffer to the hull of Scarlette. Icky stopped by to tell me that the repair he did would also need sanding once I begin sanding the bottom part of the hull after I strip the bottom paint off. He also handed back my key.
