This walk was shorter due to waning light and certain under-dressed people. Not far inland the snow was several inches heavier than in Portland.

The dog, for one, needed to get outside.

Sanding the old to make way for the new. Three initial coats, but I want at least five this time. Protection is always important in these matters. Will add front handle and rigging for paddle stay, top storage … trouble is finding the right weather pattern for a few days in a row this time of year for 5 coats of varnish.
