Fifth and Final Coat of Varnish/Another Call for Names

Tonight we did a final wet sand of the boat, first with 320 grit, then 400 and finally 600. We spent the extra time of the sanding because we hope the fifth coat of varnish will be the last. Then after wipe downs with water and laquer thinner, we put a fifth coat of varnish on the deck. About 1.5 hours of work.









The earlier call for names (link here) has not resulted in any submissions, so I again ask if anyone has any suggestions. I think Old Weller is also a good choice as I found a bottle in the back of Rick's cabinet when the Buffalo Trace ran out one night. Hmm, Buffalo Trace is a good name too. Any way, we need a name, so we welcome submissions and the winning entry will be rewarded and possibly announced this Sunday at the unveiling/Super Bowl party. Don't forget to RSVP.


Total Construction Time: 63.5hours.

Pirate-ish possibilities: The Scallywag, The Scurvy Dog, The Keelhauler, The Seadog, The Black Jack. And, I got this one, my favorite, from http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=pirateshipnamer: The Wandering Rage. Check out the link for more possibilities.
