One year on T-Fish

Rising sun over Porto Turistico di Roma

I am back on T-Fish after the Christmas Break and celebrating my first year as a 'live-aboard'. Well, at least as a 'kind of live-aboard' as I am still in occupation, and currently commuting between Brussels (where my family lives) and Rome (location of my current duty station). Thus, I am using T-Fish as a sort of a flat while I am in Rome.

There are certain advantages in doing this.

First, T-Fish offers all comfort of a small flat. There is  a sleeping room, a dressing room, a bathroom with toilet and a living room with a kitchenette. Hot water is provided through a boiler connected to the shore line power. As a boat originally from the 'North', T-Fish is also equipped with a built-in heating system which provides a warm and cozy cabin in cold winters days (yes, even in Rome there are some cold winter days with temperatures below the freezing point!). Further, when moving-in I installed a smart TV with a sat dish mounted on the pier allowing me to follow German news and sport events. Underway the TV runs as an entertaining media system, e.g. as a 'mirroring' display of the chart plotter or as a home cinema system supported by a large media library on a SSD which appears sufficient to circumnavigate the globe at least twice while continuously watching movies. Well, I have to confess that so far it was not used too often but it definitely is a nice thing to have in particular when weathering foul weather.

Second, T-Fish is well maintained and kept 'functional' while living aboard. Small repairs are done on the spot and it looks like that many appliances tend to malfunction lesser when continuously in use.   Thus, besides two major projects which I postponed for quite some time there are currently no open items on T-Fish's 'to-do list'.

One of the two major project concerns the cleaning of the underwater ship from remnants of the anti-fouling coating which built-up over the years, to apply a new osmosis shielding and to renew all sea cocks at the same time.
The second one, which has higher priority, is to sort out what to do with T-Fish's teak deck which is in poor condition now after almost 30 years. Should I get rid of it, seal the holes of the screws and just paint the deck? Or should I invest in a new teak deck which is very costly but certainly looks better. Alternatively, I could use a 'synthetic' teak deck but I am not sure, how these decks look after 15 or more years.
Anyway, I will try to consult some local companies in the vicinity of the port for some further advice. In case you know a good company in the Rome area, please let me know.
