During the summer we have had tarps covering the boat in a vain attempt to keep some of the heat out. A side result of this is that it also kept the rain off. So we couldn't pin point where the leaks in our windows were.
Taking the tarp off for Hurricane Irene and the downpour that came with her fixed that dilemma for us - nearly every window had a leak somewhere! This, after twice trying fix the problem.
We think we have it licked now though. We have caulked all around the outside of each window with 3M 4000 UV, as well as taking out each screw and injecting the 4000 into each screw hole. So far, fingers crossed, no leaks.

We woke up one morning to find this handsome spider had spun a web from our car radio antenna to the ground below. I'd reckon 2.5 - 3 inches in length.
Over-packaging, perhaps? The tiny item in the center of the picture is all that was in this postal delivery.
In another lifetime I think I would like to work with wood. Look at the difference between the sun-bleached, scruffy wooden seat above and another one that has had nothing done but been sanded. Once they get varnished again they will look like new.
