The main deck starboard side has been a slip and trip hazard for a very long time due to deterioration of the wood and is very slippery in the wet.
Today we had donated some nice wooden planks which we have laid down the deck and covered with mesh to make a nice safe walkway. In the long term we hope to redeck the entire ship with the original Douglas Pine 3″ x 5″ planks. In the meantime we are no longer in serious danger of falling on our erses in the rain.
