Varnish day

This morning we masked off the Mississippi River Skiff in preparation for it's varnish.
I decided to use a satin varnish on the sole and gloss everywhere else in the interior.  Around mid afternoon the sun was off the boat so we sprayed the sole and by late afternoon we began on the gloss work.
The oars also got a coat.
The outboard was scratching the woodwork so before the masking we bent and installed a 1/16 inch brass plate on the transom.  It looks sharp and will take the abuse better than varnished cherry.
