The Resurection of BANANAS 

BANANAS life in Marina del Rey marinas cooked her planks below the water line such that they were not able to take new cotton when we attempted the ?corking and caulking? outlined in previous installments of this story.  Due to a number of interruptions from other Kettenburgs in need of rescue BANANAS languished in the yard in Gardena for too many years. 

 She has now been moved to a warehouse outside Sacramento wherein she will receive all new planking below the waterline.  This work is expected to commence in the fall of 2009 and be finished by the first of 2010.
