Haven't done much travelling lately, unless you count crossing the dock from one boat to the other, over and over. Dulcinea is for sale - a grand boat in need of a final spiffing up, and once it's gone it will be back to living on Ramblynn - a fine boat as well. Decided that now would be a good time to teak oil Ramblynn - a smelly, messy business, best not done while living on it. Step one was clearing off all the shelves; step 2 cleaning all the woodwork, and plenty of woodwork there is and then step 3 applying teak oil. Took a long time but well worth the effort. 
Then it's on to Dulcinea - no teak oil involved but a lot of Murphy's Soap on the wood and regular soap and water on the ceilings, hatches and port holes. Took a mere 2 hours to clean the stove!! Then out on deck every piece of chrome and stainless steel needed cleaning and polishing. And what is Cetol you may ask? I'm not sure, sort of a stain and sealant all in one and once it's on your clothes it's there for good. Fortunately there isn't too much wood on deck so 3 coats of cetol didn't take too long to apply.
