Man, you're making me tired....... think I'll go take a nap!! Uh... after I vacume.

: I sanded through on one little spot and have that darned white streak right
: on the top of my lovely deck. Dang it. Most likely the fabric floated
: there because I barely started sanding and (luckily) noticed it. Well, I
: figure that's an excuse to put some sort of graphic or perhaps the boat's
: name (Pyxis) there, but just in case... anyone got any ideas??? My
: understanding is it's pretty much live with it or sand all the way down to
: the wood, reglass that part, and then have a ring around the edge of where
: I sanded that may be just as bad as what I have now. It's a fairly large
: patch about 6" by 3", but it's kinda in a "y" shape,
: and I may make that the "y" in "Pyxis." It may be that
: I can make the deck rigging cover it enough that it's not too noticable,
: but if the scratch were not there that's not where I would have put the
: rigging... but close enough I could maybe move it back and move the hatch
: back a few inches. We'll see. Also I thought maybe a little wood pad there
: for my spare paddle to rest on??? Or maybe even a deck cleat. It's on the
: rear, so a compass wouldn't be appropriate. It is about 1/2 way down the
: deck and a few inches from the shearline. Give me some thoughts.

Well, if you hadn't told us, we'd have never seen it under all that stuff. I think the name would be very appropriete, but.... now that we know, we'll be looking for it...

Good Luck.... Rehd
