Benches & Clean Up Day

While waiting for new stock of galvanized pipe and plumbing fittings to arrive in Ketchikan, a little carpentry was in order to create seating for the outfitting area. Greg and Lars watched a You Tube video about building benches and set to work.

The Benches before varnish.

They have made some awesome benches using simple materials: 2x12s, 2x6s, 4x4s and satin spar varnish.

Friday was clean-up day. The Crystal Serenity was scheduled to pay a random visit to Ketchikan, 3 weeks ahead of the regular season, which gave us an excellent reason to get ready for customers. Here is how it began...

It was a little daunting... but with some elbow grease and a lot of help from Lars it started to look better.

and better...

Until by 5:30pm, it was pretty presentable.
