Back in the day, back cabins were made from two layers of tongue & groove with a layer of tar paper in between. If this timber was allowed to dry out, the boards would shrink and the paint/varnish would crack and the seams would open up and the next time it rained they would leak like a sieve. So boaters regularly moped down to keep them wet, in fact some working boat cabins never dried they mopped them that frequently.Blossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926264556165848005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-18385221467458870512012-04-23T17:36:31.336+01:002012-04-23T17:36:31.336+01:00now that there's so many blogs, they're a ...now that there's so many blogs, they're a bit more respresentative of the range of people you meet - including the idiots. ;-)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098938874477314472noreply@blogger.com
