Reunion Upgrades

We want to take this opportunity to describe what’s been happening to Reunion for the last 11 months, spent here at Pugh’s Marina.  Dennis spent every available hour all winter,  doing blister repair, painting the bottom, removing teak decks to replace with a non-slip surface, disassembling and painting the sundeck and numerous other smaller repairs that would bring the vessel up to “Dennis standards” – which are very high.

I did interior work, sewing new bench covers, curtains and a quilt for our queen size bed.  Photos may give you some idea of  “before and after”.  But now it is a fresh shiny new boat for our trip.

Many thanks to Mike Batzner for his woodworking expertise and all-around good natured assistance for many hours to fix some sad spots inside and out.  For some reason, boats seem to get a little water damage over the years.

Pugh’s Marina here in Racine has been very accommodating and we would recommend this place to anyone for storage, repair, paint/polish or whatever.  It should go on the list of  “great marinas “ for service and hospitality.

We are more than ready to depart.  Leaving on July 24 to head North on Lake Michigan to Door County, Wisconsin, where we will spend a couple of weeks enjoying that beautiful region on a shake-down cruise.
