New utility shelf

I only got one gift from my Amazon wishlist this year, and it was a wonderful teak shelf for the boat, made by SeaTeak. Unfortunately the interior of the boat is darker than oiled teak. I suspect it's mahogany, as the closest matching stain I've been able to locate is Bombay Mahogany by Minwax. So, sadly, I stained the teak to match, and, happily, I installed it just to starboard of the companionway, below the boat's good luck charm. Now there's a place to put keys, wallets, cell phones etc, so they're within reach, but protected from spray. A big quality of life improvement!
