Haven't been out for a week, but been busy on the boat almost every day. I take the dog with me; he loves "his" boat; it has treats on it! :) I oiled the teak with lemon oil. It looks great. I finally managed to find the S/N on the Wallas stove/heater and signed up for their additional 12...

One foot? I can't envision that, Bob. How the heck did you turn?

Hard to say, Bob. Doesn't seem to have much to do with lemons! From GoodGuide.com: INGREDIENTS C12 - 20 Isoparaffin Fragrance Solvent Yellow 72 Here is the MSDS, which also is little help. http://www.rbnainfo.com/MSDS/US/OLDENGL ... nglish.pdf

The lemon oil I use smells great!

Anyone used lemon oil on their teak? I have used it on a teak settee that has stayed outside for over 15 years. Any reason I shouldn't use it on the teak inside my boat?

Haven't used diesel for anything for some time, but as I recall, it has a strong odor. I put a gallon of K-1 Kerosene in the heater tank yesterday, and it has hardly any odor at all.

The ride was smoother when we headed back, but this was a good workout.

Gonna need a fresh water wash down!

Not so windy in Penn Cove

I planned to go out with a friend today, but had second thoughts when the winds were much stronger than originally predicted, 16-18 vs. 20-25! Finally decided, what the heck. We went anyway and had a GREAT time. We went down to Penn Cove, stopped at Toby's for mussels and a Guinness, and...

Actually, it is "1-K"; my typo! Yes, it seems to be the same stuff. K-1 is the range of my education, at least according to my wife after I tell a corny joke! :) (like this one).

Yes, it was beautiful! Didn't go out today, but accomplished some "boat related" things. Picked up a gallon of 1-K Heater fuel from Home Depot, disassembled and cleaned the aft bilge pump (it was sticking with the float up, not allowing it to shut off), and figured out how the Port-a-Potti...

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll stick with the K-1.

Let me see if I can resurrect this old thread. The installer of my Wallas heater/stove filled the fuel tank with "Kerosene K-1" from Ace Hardware. It is also available from Home Depot. It works great, doesn't smell and seems to last almost FOREVER! It is very expensive compared to diesel...

Wow, that really is a beauty! Those pillows in the v-berth are awesome.

Ha, ha! I am making up for it quickly!
