Ahoy !

My Frers33 is currently beset by deck cracks  bo= th long longitudinal as well as short lateral cracks, strangely only on the= port side, of a Frers33 which has been, largely untended,  on the har= d for several years  now, due to my unplanned illness.

Meanwhile, what is the proper method of temporarily, until Spring, pre= venting water   intrusion, as well as the recommended resurfacing= , as well as any needed subsurface repair of.... the deck and cabin top, co= me  Spring ?

Also, any suggestions as to best t= echnique for the determination of existing rainwater intrusion would be app= reciated. Other than rain, water is not readily available. The ports appear= responsible.

Tarps are obvious but lead to severe m= ildew, etc., as I am  not currently able to regularly attend the boat.=   

Also, any suggested informational sources wo= uld be gratefully received.
Appreciatively,

Courtney Thomas, currently ensconced  in Atlanta but home port de= stination........Nova Scotia  and aspiration port, Montevideo  (a= cross the river from Buenos Aires)
