Whelchel86, great shot- I am looking forward to some of that this summer! Bigcity444, did you actually use varnish on your teak, or did you go the traditional route with teak oil? Just curious as I sanded and oiled the same parts on my Mariah last year, and the came out real nice and still look good this year. Oh yeah, the river here is too high and too many chunks.

This is a pic from last weekend on the TN River.

I did Varnish. The wood wasn't dried out and turning white so this seemed the better option for me.

Sanded with 100 grit then wiped with thinner. 1st coat was 60/40 Varnish/Thinner. Next day sanded with 200 grit, wiped with thinner. Then 80% Varnish, 20% thinner. I still have two coats of 100% Varnish to go with plans to sand at 200 before each. These photos were taken after the first coat.

This is how I spent my day, had to go to my buddy's place to check as he heard his boat lift was not there for install by the marina. I was headed out anyways to go do something else in the area so I decided to swing by his place as well... Sure enough, no boat lift where it was left in the fall and nowhere to be found near the property.

Missing boat lift, at least the dock is in though.

Cool you flew a plane there? Sorry to hear about your friends lift.

[Jetlink]

Yeah, I can fly there and back in the same amount of time to drive one way for me. My friend takes much longer to drive there than I do so it's a "win" for everyone.

that friend must be very grateful..... Can't figure out what in the world happened to his lift....He'll need to talk to Insurance about it's replacement. July'll be here before we know it.......
I forgot to ask about the lift for the sailboat, is it possible that 2 went missing?? Holy.....
I never get tired of looking at that beach from the water!! thanks again Ben!! See ya in a couple weeks!

[Jetlink]

Entirely possible that the sailboat lift is gone as well, which is odd, I wasn't even looking for that one. I'm pretty sure though that the lift that I saw that was rotated 90 degrees tot he shore is on your neighbors property towards Beulah and not yours.

There's a lot of jawing going on for a Picture thread! More pics!

This was taken a few weeks ago at a local campground. Talk about a man who has it all!
