Cooking leather grease

Trying to cook up some leather grease. The recepie I have specify badger tallow but there is not enought badgers around so I use sheeps tallow instead.

Quite simple actually, 4 parts tallow (by weight), 2 parts bees wax and 1part pine tar. Melt it in a water bath and pour into jars.

Warm Easter

We have had extremely nice weather over Easter, warm and sunny with very little wind. So I had time to do some outfitting I did not have time for last year.

Fitted fairleads to the deck, forward and aft, and a brass stem band o protect the boat when I sail her onto the beach.
