Day 27: Kiel (Ships) and Lübeck (brick constructions)

Lübeck has so many brick houses, it's really cool. Fun fact: Lübeck is known for being one of the first cities to ever produce Marzipan. It has been producing Marzipan since before 1800.

One more sailing picture...wish I was on the water today instead of the office!

A beautiful woman, a sailboat, and lots of blue water....what more could you ask for?

First piece of 1/2" marine plywood tacked in place. Now, I just have to march all the way around....Twice! Original cabin sides are 1" thick.

Starting to get serious now!

I hated to get rid of the teak deck, but at the same time, I'm glad I won't have have to maintain all that teak. Either way, it had to come up. The core of the deck had rotted and made some squishy spots. It was a very messy job as after all the teak was removed the whole thing needed to have a layer of epoxy ground off, that I'm sure was there from from a previous repair. The issue of the rotten core is infamous in these boats, and why they are often referred to as Leaky Teakies. The problem is that all that teak is screwed through fiberglass into the core. If the teak deck is not meticulously maintained, every one of those million screw holes eventually leaks into the core.
