Staining the decks

-
Today I woke up to a brilliant day. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky- the perfect weather for staining the decks.
I have made us a quick breakfast and while Jules brushed the leaves of the decks, I started staining.
It went very well until I run out of stain.
Jules drove to Kaikohe - a town about 40 Km on the other side of the harbor that is crossed with a vehicle ferry, to get more stain.
I was hoping to have the stain so that over the weekend I can finish the rest of the decks and a apply a second coat.
But now the weather forecast is showing a drizzle.
Needless to say, I did not get into the studio today.
Perhaps if it rains I will spend the weekend in the studio, developing my sketchbook project.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
