Out with the Old...

One of the many things that needed to get done was removal of the vinyl lettering on the "sugar scoop" on the Time and Tide.  The previous name was a play on the owners name---and no, we are not superstitious on changing a boat's name.

Starting on the starboard side, the vinyl removal is fairly straightforward and other than making sure I keep a bit of balance, it is just a simple task of heating the lettering and adhesive with a hand held hair dryer that was donated for the cause by the little woman applying orange oil below deck.

Vinyl removal complete and was mostly an easy peel, now for the hard part....getting the "gunk" off!!!

Fortunately, I have some "gunk" removal but it still takes time and a lot of elbow grease.

Finally!!!  All the lettering and gunk is gone.  Now for the port side.

Had to take a break...seriously, my arm got tired :)

Down to the "gunk"

And all clean like the starboard side!!!  Now just have to measure and order some new lettering.
